19dreams

(album: The Present Is A Foreign Land - 2022)

It's been a minute since we believed
It's been a while since I could see
That we were all on it, we felt it honestly
I've been looking for ways to live
I've been knocked back I've left myself
To give it up and try to keep this alive

Cause time ticks on, people die
Some of us get stuck in here left behind
As we find grey hairs, change our clothes
It leaves us to wonder where in hell life goes
We're all getting jaded, losing our will
I can't help myself from wondering still:

Are we chasing the same dreams I had when I was 19?
When I was 19?
When I was 19?
When I was 19?
Are we chasing that dream?

Calm down, come down
Try and pick your head up off the ground
Cause round and round and round yeah
Won't do us any good

Cause time ticks on and life drives by
Friends feel like a portrait of a different time
When you had long hair and boundless hopes
Sewn up in your three minutes of rock and roll
But we all got jaded, lost our will
I can't help myself from wondering still:

Are we chasing the same dreams I had when I was 19?
When I was 19?
When I was 19?
When I was 19?
Are we chasing that dream?
Are we chasing that dream?

I might feel dead to the world
It's just another day
Is this my time drawing close
I'll find some other way...

To keep it going cause I'm afraid
That I've seen my death and I've felt it all subside
Maybe I've lost it, maybe we've lost it

Cause time ticks on, people die
I feel like I'm stuck in here left behind
I've found grey hairs, changed my clothes
I've been left to wonder where did my youth go?
We've all been getting jaded, I've lost my will
I can't help myself from wondering still:

Are we chasing the same dreams I had when I was 19?
When I was 19?
When I was 19?
When I was 19?
Are we chasing that dream?
Are we chasing that dream?

What did this mean, when I was 19?
When I was 19?
When I was 19?
