When I Was Young

I've been looking all around

Tryna figure out what the hell really counts

When everything feels like it's fillin up with doubt

Thoughts heading south

And no one can hear me shout

And the voices in my head so loud

Calm before the storm like a Seattle cloud

The sky so gray trna figure it out

Why I'm so down in this sunlight drought

Yeah memories coming back to me

Of a simpler time when I was young and free

Playing games with the kids that lived next to me

Didn't care about time or anything, yeah

But things changed, turned 23

Had to figure out what the hell was next for me

Do I do the safe thing something guaranteed?

Or do I do what I love till my fingers bleed?

It'll all be okay

Figure out my own way

But for now here I lay

And remember a day

When I was young

When I was young

Smoke stacks 'cause it's cold outside

Fire burning from the other night

I can smell the coals in my soul it

Makes me feel something deep inside

Memories of a better life

Memories where I felt alive

In these times you can choose to survive

In these times you can choose to thrive

And I wanna make somethin', take somethin'

Take control of my life and display somethin'

Show the world what I love and go play something

Show the world what I love on a stage strumming

And I wanna make y'all feel the same

And I wanna take away all the pain

At least for a minute while I play

I wanna make you feel okay

It'll all be okay

Figure out my own way

But for now here I lay

And remember a day

When I was young

When I was young, yeah
