Lyrics When I Was Young - blink-182

When I Was Young

I woke up today surrounded by blackness
The small morning sun devoured the process
It’s always been fun when I get a bit nervous
And it’s hard to say, but I feel a bit weightless
The more I admit, I feel a bit anxious
The more I go on, the less I can face this
And those rotten things that live in our shadow
We walk on the line of death and the gallows
And hope that we clear a path we can follow
It’s the worst damn day (It doesn’t hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today (It doesn’t hurt that much)
I’m alright (It doesn’t hurt that much)
When I was young, the world, it was smaller
The cities were vast, the buildings were taller
I felt really strong, my parents seemed stronger
But life has a way, it showers with greatness
Then takes it away, those pieces that made us
Then teaches you things you’d never imagine
We all get the same, the memories, the burdens
The pictures we made, they still form a pattern
They cautiously say, «Does it all matter?»
It’s the worst damn day (It doesn’t hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today (It doesn’t hurt that much)
I’m alright (It doesn’t hurt that much)
It’s the worst damn day (It doesn’t hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today (It doesn’t hurt that much)
I’m alright
It’s the worst damn day (It doesn’t hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today (It doesn’t hurt that much)
I’m alright (It doesn’t hurt that much)
It’s the worst damn day (It doesn’t hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today (It doesn’t hurt that much)
I’m alright
