Lyrics

When we were young er, we felt ev ’ry one was on our side.

And Then we grew a lit tle, ed it and ro man ti cized the (C)time I saw flow ers in your hair.

See, it takes a boy to to wis but it takes a man one to pre tend he was there.

So then, we grew a lit tle, knew a lot.

was on our side.

And And now we a on tle, ’cause you’re to the cops.

And all the (C)things we said; we were self as sured.

’Cause ’Cause it’s a long road to wis dom, but it’s a short to make to be ing ig nored.

Me and my eyes,

and me and my heart.

Me and my eyes; ay, ay, ay, me and my heart.

me and my heart.
