"...the things that you do when you're hungry, young, and divine..."

lyrics

Remember back when we met each other
I was a liar
The hero from the story of struggle
I’d clearly survived
And I needed you to know I
Needed you to know my life
Things that you do in your 20s
Just to fall anyway

Harkin’ back to seasons of trouble
We were on fire
Runnin’ round runnin’ our mouths for
Some game we’d devised
Well we needed everybody to see what
We thought we could be
Things that you do when your hungry
Young and divine

I Haven’t been up in a while
Thinkin’ bout the way it used to be I know I
Haven’t been down in a while
And that’s made of
My blessin’s and my curses
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da

Lookin’ back upon the endeavors to which
We had conspired
Try'n to stake it all on the end game, but
We did it all wrong
In the throes of misfortune
Havin’ just the time of our lives
It’s funny what you’ll do when you’re chasin’ down
What’s drawn to your heart

I’m sorry that I missed out on things that
We can never get back
What’s true is what they say about time, that it's
More precious than gold

I Haven’t been up in a while
Thinkin’ bout the way that it might’ve been I know I
Haven’t been down in a while
And I treasure
My blessin’s and my curses

I Haven’t been up in a while
Thinkin’ bout the way that it should’ve been I know I
Haven’t been down in a while
And God damn them
My blessin’s and my curses
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
