The Things We Thought We'd Be

Şarkı Sözleri

THE THINGS WE THOUGHT WE'D BE [Verse 1] I found a list I wrote at seventeen Folded in the back of an old book Ten things I'd do before I turned thirty I had to smile before I looked I was gonna learn to play the piano Live for a while beside the sea See my name somewhere in bright lights Become somebody people came to see [Verse 2] I had the cities all decided The kind of house, the kind of car Funny how a kid can draw a lifetime Without knowing who his friends will be There were no spaces for the detours No room for changing what I knew I thought growing up meant getting closer To the picture I had drawn at twenty-two [Pre-Chorus] But there were names I hadn't written Places I didn't know existed Days I couldn't have imagined Waiting somewhere up ahead [Chorus] Would you recognize me now? Would you think we lost our way? Would you count the things we never did Or the ones we found along the way? Would you ask me where the years went? Would you wonder what went wrong? I didn't become who you imagined But I hope you'd still come along [Verse 3] Some dreams left without a warning Some I quietly let go Some are sitting on a shelf somewhere And I still don't really know If I'll ever get around to them Or if they belong to who I was Not every dream we stop believing
