lyrics

There goes my ignorance
Slipping like sand through the cracks
My life’s in this hour glass
I hope God does not drop me

I’ve been dying since I was born
And I’ve never been so sure
Of everything I endured
So I keep looking backward

Today I walked into a bar
And she split my forehead deep
And as the blood rushed from me
I was singing the single

Why can’t it be like it was when we were young
Why can’t it be like it was when we were in love

There goes my blissfulness
Fading with the end of the song
Long gone its original shade
But the color’s still singing

That’s when I get the urge
To strum the dust off the chords
And write myself another tune
But I must feed my family

Screw them let them all
Starve and die
Lord knows it wouldn’t be the first time
God knows it wouldn’t be the last time
That a father failed his family

Why can’t it be like it was when we were/was young
Why can’t it be like it was when we were/was in love
