lyrics

Thirty thousand years before god made all his plans
Someone sketched a painting in a cave in southern France
Of a kid daydreaming, leaning on their spear
Withdrawn from the hunters who show no fear
That was me then now

Hey! you took me by surprise
It’s fate or dumb luck otherwise
Wait, one life won’t suffice
And I’m still learning how
That was me then now

You called me from under an overpass in Baltimore
The after-party was moving to a new abandoned store
And you wanted me to join you, but I was half asleep
In my little boy bedroom in a suburb counting sheep
That was me then now

Hey! you took me by surprise
It’s fate or dumb luck otherwise
Wait, one life won’t suffice
And I’m still learning how
That was me then now

Now and then
It’s me by myself again
And I haven’t missed you just one time
But every time at once

Hey! you took me by surprise
It’s fate or dumb luck otherwise
Wait, one life won’t suffice
And I’m still learning how
That was me then

That was me then now,
Hey! you took me by surprise
It’s fate or dumb luck otherwise
Wait, one life won’t suffice
And I’m still learning how
