In My Younger Days Songtext
von EELS

In my younger days
This wouldn′t have been so hard
I would have just shrugged it off

But now it's tough
I′m not so rough
'N' I′ve got a little ways to go
It′s not over yet, I know
But it feels not so far away

In my younger days
This still would've knocked me down
But I would′ve just bounced right back, you know


Now I'm a statistic
But I′m not fatalistic
I'm not yet resigned to fate
′N' I'm not gonna be ruled by hate
But it′s strong
And it′s filling up my days

In my younger days
I would've just chalked it up
As part of my ongoing education

But I′ve had enough
Been through some stuff
'N′ I don't need any more misery
To teach me what I should be
I just need you back
