When I Was Young

I woke up today Surrounded by blackness A small warning sign Devoured the process It’s always been fine I get up and ignore this And it’s hard to say But I feel all of this weightless But the more that I admit I feel up and anxious And the more I go on The less I can face this And those rotten things That live in our shadow We walk on the line Of death and the gallows And hope that we’re clear I bet we can follow It’s the worst damn day (doesn’t hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (doesn’t hurt that much) But I’m alright (doesn’t hurt that much) When I was young The world it was smaller The cities were vast The buildings were taller I felt really strong My parents seem stronger My life has a way Showers with greatness Then takes it away Those pieces that made us The dangerous things You’d never imagine We all get the same The memories that burn And those pictures we made They still form a pattern They courteously say Does it not matter? It’s the worst damn day (doesn’t hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (doesn’t hurt that much) But I’m alright (doesn’t hurt that much) It’s the worst damn day (doesn’t hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (doesn’t hurt that much) But I’m alright It’s the worst damn day (doesn’t hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (doesn’t hurt that much) But I’m alright (doesn’t hurt that much) It’s the worst damn day (doesn’t hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (doesn’t hurt that much) But I’m alright --- When I Was Young - blink-182
