Nada Surf - When I Was Young Song Lyrics

It's amazing how much time love saves you at first
When you rediscover your reason to work
And your aimless dreaming has found a target and
You normalize angry, all function returned
Came home early, a quarter to two
I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you

We carry pictures in our pretend wallets
Have ourselves in heavily edited seven needs
With better handwriting and longer days at the park
And dinners with no drama, the professor and Marianne
Came home early, a quarter to two
I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you

When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
Now I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of
When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
Now I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of
What was that world I was dreaming of
What was that world I was dreaming of

Late summer returned, endless apartment, I lean out the window
Deals on the regular shirts,
same freight to light as last year, but more or so
When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
Now I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of
What was that world I was dreaming of
What was that world I was dreaming of

Now I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of
What was that world I was dreaming of
What was that world I was dreaming of
