When I Was Young Lyrics
I woke up today surrounded by blackness
The small morning sun devoured the process
It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous
And it's hard to say but I feel a bit weightless
The more I admit I feel a bit anxious
The more I go on the less I can face this
And those rotten things that live in our shadow
We walk on the line of death and the gallows
And hope that we clear a path we can follow
It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much
When I was young the world it was smaller
The cities were vast, the buildings were taller
I felt really strong; my parents seemed stronger
But life has a way it showers with greatness
Then takes it away those pieces that made us
Then teaches you things you'd never imagine
We all get the same the memories the burdens
The pictures we made they still form a pattern
They cautiously say does it all matter
It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much
It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much
It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much
It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright.
The small morning sun devoured the process
It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous

It doesn't hurt that much

It doesn't hurt that much
(It doesn't hurt that much)

I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright.

Great tune! The chorus pretty much sums it all, no matter how shitty you may feel, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

I think cut_here nailed it. And this is probably the best song that blink has put out since they got back together. The other 4 songs on the EP are okay but the chorus in this song reminds me of old blink. This and Natives are really the only other songs that I would consider 10s since Neighborhoods. Just too much AVA influence still in Tom and I don't like it in blink.

The verse melody reminds me so much of Shove, a song Tom write for his Angels & Airwaves project.
