Lyrics

[00:12.45] We were young like the future, we were young and always wrong
[00:17.61] We were young like our country, learning old ways to be young
[00:25.29] Random driving around with you in my dilapidated car
[00:30.51] Like Isadora Duncan II in impossibly long white scarves
[00:42.90] (C): Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennesse and Jeremy
[00:48.81] Suddenly, willow trees, memories of Jeremy.
[01:01.62] Like a Galapagos turtle we grow old and stay that way,
[01:06.54] Build a nest in the sand dunes, lay our eggs and walk away
[01:15.45] I was writing our dreams down, making maps of an unseen plane;
[01:19.53] and I noticed anomalies that you'd rather not see explained.
[01:33.00] (C)We drove, canopy down, in the scalding rain on the one day we were young
[01:55.35] The house we bought was really a lake
[02:01.62] Otters scampered down the halls
[02:07.68] There were whirlpools in the floor and sails
[02:12.27] You're alone and it's over
[02:15.27] You're alone with your gun
[02:18.42] You're alone
[02:19.65] From now on you're all alone
[02:46.71] and you're not young
