Broder Daniel - When We Were Winning (Long Version) lyrics

Oh when we were seventeen Oh life was like a film When we were seventeen The sky was always tangerine We ran through streets at night Under starlight We ran through streets at night When we were winning Oh wild was the world And wild we burned We were kings of the streets Not yet beaten by defeats But now it's hard to see Through a fog of memories But I remember When we were winning Now my friends are unemployed Not needed in this world Pushed down by this town and always turned down But in dreams at night They can sometimes recall When we were heroes When we were winning There was a girl that I loved I have her photograph It seems long ago Or was it yesterday? She was a glimpse of life A life that I missed The chance I ever got When we were winning I thought I saw here today Thru a crowd in the street I tried to run up to her And my heart was beating fast But she was already gone She was lost in the crowd But will I see her again In the street or on a bus? And can it be true Love never really dies And is there still a chance The fire never dies I was out walking yesterday I pa**ed my old school And I started to think back To when I was a boy there And all my cla**mates They got real jobs now But we are walking along The same streets were I was born What have we done to our lives? We could've been anything We gave it our love for what? This is the time And when I was growing up My mom held a job Employed by the state At the local school She used to smell in her mouth As she always used to sing She let her hair down in spring When we were winning But she was worned out She had to quit her job And after 30 years of work Now shes got nothing She says she hates her life And her marriage has failed But don't lay down and die Pleeease be alive Oh it's in the air at night There's a wind coming in The days dying Oh it's so beautiful There's something happening somewhere I take the bus in to town All I see is laughing And we are winning Soon I grow older But god knows I haven't lived yet Before tonight's the memory Let's go out I'm still young Ahhhhh aaaaahh aaaaaah aaaaaaah Aaaaahhh aaaaah aaaaaaaaaah Life doesn't wait
