about

A song about growing up and growing apart.

lyrics

I am but a man
Inside a tin can

I walk alone
To my empty home

Scars on my face
Tears on yours

I can fight through my pain
But can you fight through yours?

Gone are the days oh oh
When we had it all
Gone are the days oh oh
Of summers turned to fall
Gone are the days oh oh
So we’ve been told
Gone are the days oh oh
Of our youth and gold

I can’t sleep tonight
You’re not by my side

I worry too much
That you can’t feel my touch

You’re so strong
And I’m so torn

I sing songs
‘Cause I don’t have a sword

Gone are the days oh oh
When we had it all
Gone are the days oh oh
Of summers turned to fall
Gone are the days oh oh
So we’ve been told
Gone are the days oh oh
Of our youth and gold

I need you more than you need me
I get worried that you’ll up and leave
I need you to know before we get to old
That I love you

Gone are the days oh oh
When we had it all
Gone are the days oh oh
Of summers turned to fall
Gone are the days oh oh
So we’ve been told
Gone are the days oh oh
Of our youth and gold

Kris has blown my mind since I met him. His music takes me deeper into myself, and gives language to feelings I forget I have. Check out his stuff! Semi-Average Joe
