Lyrics
Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someone told me they found you
Sleepwalking through Babylon
You told me that you don't have much but you still got more than anyone
You love the words that speak to you
And every line reminds you of
An old friend or a crippled love
A time when you were young
And for years they laughed at you
But they don't got nothing to lose
No, they just talk instead
And I don't care about them
Darling, it's time to go
So things went my way for once
Caught in the illusion of the beautiful and numb
And this morning may call for you
And that's when I felt the worse
But the moment I wrote it down was the moment I lived forever
And for years they laughed at you
But they don't got nothing to lose
No, they just talk instead
And I don't care about them
The moments I write down are forever
And I don't care about them
The moments I write down are forever
Someone told me they found you
Sittin' in a parking lot
Thinking 'bout the things you've done
Back when you were young
You love the words that speak to you
And every song reminds you of
An old friend or a crippled love
Way back when you were young
And I know they don't dream about
No, they don't dream about
They don't dream about nothin', oh
They just talk instead
And I don't care about them
And the moments I write down are forever
And I don't care about
The moments I write down
The moments I write down
I heard you made it through the wreckage
I knew you'd do it, I knew you'd do it
I heard you're happy livin' easy
Like you always wanted, like you always wanted
