Lukas Graham - SINCE I WAS 7 lyrics

Once I was NINE years old my momma told me Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once I was NINE years old [Verse 1] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure [Chorus 2] Once I was TWELVE years old my daddy told me Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely Once I was eleven years old [Verse 2] I always had that dream like my daddy before me SELLING BIG ISSUES..... So I started writing songs, I started writing stories Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me Cause only those I really love will ever really know me [Chorus 3] Once I was 22 years old, my story got told Before the morning sun, when life was lonely Once I was 20 years old (Lukas- Che) [Verse 3] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major I got my boys with me at least those in favor And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later [Chorus 4] Once I was 22 years old, my story got told I was writing about everything, I saw before me Once I was 22 years old Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming Soon we'll be 30 years old [Verse 4] I'm still learning about life My woman brought children for me So I can sing them all my songs And I can tell them stories Most of my boys are with me Some are still out seeking glory And some I had to leave behind My brother I'm still sorry [Bridge] Soon I'll be 25 years old, my daddy got 50 Remember life and then your life becomes a better one I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month [Chorus 5] Soon I'll be 25 years old, will I think the world is cold Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me Soon I'll be 25 years old Soon I'll be 25 years old, will I think the world is cold Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me Soon I'll be 25 years old [Chorus 1 recap] Once I was 9 years old, my momma told me Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once I was seven years old
