When I Was Young Lyrics - The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy - Nada Surf

Nada Surf are almost done with the preparations for their seventh studio album, "The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy" which is set for release on January 24th, 2012 via Barsuk Records. The first single is a guitar-driven track, titled "When I Was Young". 

It's amazing how much time love saves you at first 

When you rediscover your reason to work 

And your aimless dreaming has found a target 

And normalize and greed all function return 

Came home early, quarter to two 

I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you 

We carry pictures in our pretend wallet 

Of ourselves and heavily edited seventies 

With better handwriting and longer days at the park 

And dinners with no drama the professor and Mary Anne 

Came home early, a quarter to two 

I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you 

When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up 

Now I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of 

When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up 

Now I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of 

What was that world I was dreaming of 

What was that world I was dreaming of 

Late summer return, airless apartment I lean out the window 

Deals on irregular shirts, save right to light as last year, more so 

When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up 

Now I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of 

What was that world I was dreaming of 

What was that world I was dreaming of.
