Who You Were Lyrics

It's nails on a chalkboard, sounds of the past

Don't ask me how long this will last

You're 70s music yet it's frozen in time

That carefree innocence etched in every single rhyme

They say ignorance is bliss, but what does that make this?

They say ignorance is bliss, but what does that make this?

Those old records, conversations unseen

It's hard to believe you weren't quite sixteen

You'll look back then and all you see is a blur

And you're tracing the lines of the chords once played

I don't know why you continue to wait

Look back then and all you see is a blur

You don't know who you were

You don't know who you were, who you were

Is this just a battle or a straight-up war

They don't quite get it, don't know what it's all for

Old summer evenings when the sky seemed more blue

Drunk on the scars of a stolen youth

They say ignorance is bliss, but what does that make this?

They say ignorance is bliss, but what does that make this?

Those old records, conversations unseen

It's hard to believe you weren't quite sixteen

You'll look back then and all you see is a blur

And you're tracing the lines of the chords once played

I don't know why you continue to wait

Look back then and all you see is a blur

You don't know who you were

You don't know who you were, who you were

What do they say about me?

What do they say about you?

No time for grieving when there's growing up to do

Must've hurt to grow up so young

There's no time to feel when there's school work to be done

They say ignorance is bliss, but what does that make this?

Ohhh

Those old records, conversations unseen

It's hard to believe you weren't quite sixteen

You'll look back then and all you see is a blur

Tracing the lines of the chords once played

I don't know why you continue to wait

Look back then and all you see is a blur

Those old records, conversations unseen

It's hard to believe you weren't quite sixteen

You'll look back then and all you see is a blur

Tracing the lines of the chords once played

I don't know why you continue to wait

Look back then and all you see is a blur

You don't know who you were

You don't know who you were, who you were

You don't know who you were, who you were
