Wasted Years - Larkins

In our youth we wandered lonely

You went your way

I went mine

In our youth you told me slowly

Perception is a state of mind

Flat on my back again

Floating on a wave of expectation

I’m trying to

Relax

Extract

The facts

She said

I’m over it i’m out

I was under it no doubt

Talking to the walls again

She said

The way she (?) on me

There’s a place that i gotta be

And i’m flat on my back again

I see it all the time

People of the wasted years

I’m trying to catch your eye, eye, eye

Eye,

Before you go and disappear

Taking my time but then i’m flat on my back again

Searching for a wave of inspiration

I’m trying to

Relax

Extract

The facts

I see it all the time

People of the wasted years

I’m trying to catch your eye eye eye eye

Before you go and disappear

I see it all the time (i see it all the time!)

People of the wasted years (wasted years!)

I’m trying to catch your eye eye eye eye (eye!)

Before you go and disappear

I’m over it i’m out

I was under it no doubt

Talking to the walls again

She said

The way she (?) on me

There’s a place that i gotta be

Flat on my back again

She said

I’m over it i’m out

I was under it no doubt

Talking to the walls again

She said

The way she (?) on me

There’s a place that i gotta be

And i’m flat on my back again

I see it all the time

People of the wasted years

I’m trying to catch your eye eye eye eye

Before you go and disappear
