Before You Were Born Lyrics

Before you were born

There was a building on the corner

It stood a hundred stories high and now its growing even more

In it everyone that came before me passed through

Everyone that knows you, soon you'll know too

Before you were born

There was a whole world that spun

It spun out of control but we still held on

Everything that was important doesn't matter anymore

We used to stress over nothing before you were born

Before you were born

We all wore tight pants

And we looked so young, and we smoked cigarettes

You wouldn't believe the time before the internet

But i'd never go back because you weren't there yet

Before you were born

I used to stay up late

I still do sometimes just to get my space

No matter how tired I'll be come the morning time

I promise I'll wake up just to see you smile

Before you were born

Everything looked a little different

Everyone acted so busy

There was a whole neighborhood over there that is gone

But no matter how the landscape changes

Nothing could change the world like you

Before you were born

I don't know how many times

I've driven these same streets, and never realized

The speed at which the other cars

Around me seem to fly

Everything slowed down

The day I saw your eyes

Before you were born

We travelled all around

Ate so much good food that someday you'll love too

I hope you aren't scared to fly

Because the next time we go

You might be on that plane

Down to Mexico

Before you were born

I played guitar in a band

My parents did too, maybe we could all jam

I still write songs and play them in a bar sometimes

I bet you're gonna be the greatest singer of all time
