a few years back in america Songtext
von beaux

Thinking back a lot now, I′m not gonna deny it
Stuck inside a Hilton, it could've been a Hyatt
Said you′re number one and I clearly wasn't lying
Used to travel lots, now I'm barely ever flying

We were in the back of an SUV
If we′re looking back I was kinda mean
Focus on myself, it′s a tendency
Oh I know, know, know, know

Looking back a lot now, I'm not gonna deny it
Stuck inside a Hilton, it could′ve been a Hyatt
Said you're number one and I clearly wasn′t lying
Used to travel lots, now I'm barely ever flying

Trying to call you back on the mezzanine
Thinking it′s the closest I've ever been
Feeling kinda mad, I was seventeen
Oh I know, know, know, know


All in my head
I make no use of the hindsight
Should've used this time to
Go out of my depth
I just write down what my life′s like
Couldn′t make shit up, though that'd be
Good for my head
I keep going bed in the daylight
Not because it′s fun but
Because I can't rest
I′m sat inside, can't complain right?
Just collecting thoughts that are

All in my head
I make no use of the hindsight
Should′ve used this time to
Go out of my depth
I just write down what my life's like
Couldn't make shit up, though that′d be
Good for my head
I keep going bed in the daylight
Not because it′s fun but
Because I can't rest
I′m sat inside, can't complain right?
Just collecting thoughts that are all in my head

Thinking back a lot now, I′m not gonna deny it
Stuck inside a Hilton, it could've been a Hyatt
Said you′re number one and I clearly wasn't lying
Used to travel lots, now I'm barely ever flying


I was wishing then that we′d never leave
I would do it all again, you were good to me
Nice to have a friend when I′m overseas
Oh I know, know, know, know

Looking back a lot now, I'm not gonna deny it
Stuck inside a Hilton, it could′ve been a Hyatt
Said you're number one and I clearly wasn′t lying
Used to travel lots, now I'm barely ever flying

When we′re back in ends it's a memory
I'm not gonna forget what you did for me
Know it′s kinda mad, I was seventeen
Oh I know, know, know, know
