lyrics

There was a time when you didn’t know how
Even though it seems so obvious now
Like how did you not know before
You wanted to but you couldn’t open the door

Now you simply just turn the key
Step through the doorway so easily
But there was a time when you didn’t know how
Like you do now

Once green and young were we
Living life of the valley
Now we’ve climbed higher and can see
Older but not old somewhere in between

Better and worse at the same time
It’s hard to tell if I’m laughing or crying
Love for the past can’t tell what’s to come
Taking the corners til the road is run

Sometimes I see the sky open up wide
And I feel like I did back in the day inside
And I wonder how long the feeling will last
Traveling in time back to the past

Once green and young were we
Living life of the valley
Now we’ve climbed higher and can see
Older but not old somewhere in between

We see ourselves in the past
And think of how long we will last
There are many things we have seen
But in a way we are just like we were
Once green

We’ve had time for some of our dreams
To turn to reality
But in some ways we are still downstream
We are still like we were
Once green

Hey la la
