EELS - In My Younger Days lyrics

rate me

<br>

In my younger days<br />

This wouldn't have been so hard<br />

I would've just shrugged it off<br />

But now it's tough<br />

I'm not so rough<br />

I've got a little ways to go<br />

It's not over yet, I know<br />

But it feels<br />

Not so far away<br />

<br />

In my younger days<br />

This still would've knocked me down<br />

But I would've just bounced right back, you know<br />

Now I'm a statistic<br />

But I'm not fatalistic<br />

I'm not yet resigned to fate<br />

And I'm not gonna be ruled by hate<br />

But it's strong<br />

And it's filling up my days<br />

<br />

In my younger days<br />

I would've just chalked it up<br />

As part of my ongoing education<br />

But I've had enough<br />

Been through some stuff<br />

And I don't need any more misery<br />

To teach me what I should be<br />

I just need you back

<br><br><br><br>
