A Time I Once Knew Lyrics

The pants I am wearing are ragged and old

And they were

Long before I took them off the thrift store shelf

And maybe one day they'll be crisp and new

But that day hasn't happened yet

This shirt I wear to cover my heart

Has tears and frays in equal part

And though it offers no protection

From this cold

I'll be glad to wear it tomorrow

Cause life just keeps changing

There's nothing I can do

And the worlds rotating

With no plans of stopping

So take me back to a time that I once knew

When my grandparents were healthy

And their wisdom still held true

And my skin had no scars

My brother no love for bars

Take me back to a time I once knew

Cause life just keeps changing

There's nothing I can do

And the worlds rotating

With no plans of stopping

So how long will it be until my friends all move away

And I have a house of my own and kids that run and play

And how long will it be

Until my own parents

Will be asking me

What's my name
