XL Recordings - Million Years Ago lyrics

[Produced by Greg Kurstin] [Verse 1] I only wanted to have fun Learning to fly, learning to run I let my heart decide the way When I was young Deep down I must have always known That this would be inevitable To earn my stripes I'd have to pay and bare my soul [Chorus 1] I know I'm not the only one Who regrets the things they've done Sometimes I just feel it's only me Who can't stand the reflection that they see I wish I could live a little more Look up to the sky, not just the floor I feel like my life is flashing by And all I can do is watch and cry I miss the air, I miss my friends, I miss my mother I miss it when life was a party to be thrown But that was a million years ago [Verse 2] When I walk around all of the streets Where I grew up and found my feet They can't look me in the eye It's like they're scared of me I try to think of things to say Like a joke or a memory But they don't recognize me now in the light of day [Chorus 2] I know I'm not the only one Who regrets the things they've done Sometimes I just feel it's only me Who never became who they thought they'd be I wish I could live a little more Look up to the sky, not just the floor I feel like my life is flashing by And all I can do is watch and cry I miss the air, I miss my friends, I miss my mother I miss it when life was a party to be thrown But that was a million years ago A million years ago
