Jeff Rosenstock - Young Once lyrics

[Intro: Jeff Rosenstock] Go for it [Verse 1] I was so damn clever in my own little world Gone and made the perfect gesture for the perfect girl But nothing ever really works out like that On the day and the day after The feeling of disaster I've truly got to know In the months since I came home Came back, nothing ever really works out like that [Chorus 1] And we were young once So was everyone I guess something about it felt important [Verse 2] If I could remember the name of everyone I'd kissed Does that mean they'd remember mine? Was there something in that momentary bliss? Such a beautiful waste of time Today we sat together like the family we had made And it was real and it was something And we ate off plastic plates and We all work our dream jobs And I'm not lacking in ambition I am a building of a person That's scheduled for demolition [Chorus 2] And we were young once So was everyone I guess something about it felt important And we were happy once So was everyone I guess I never realised it was so important [Verse 3] What if I was right for someone else? And what if I never learn how to live with myself? And what if when I leave, you find someone that completes you? Will that change anything or will I turn back into a pattern I'm so used to? [Chorus/Outro] And we were young once So was everyone I guess something about it felt important And we were happy once So was everyone I guess I never realised it was so important And we were young once We were young once We were young once Again Again Again Again We were happy once Again Again
