Lyrics

Telefon Tel Aviv

a younger version of myself,

From Dreams Are Not Enough2019

Written by Joshua Eustis

Produced by Joshua Eustis

Lyrics

a younger version of myself,

[Verse 1] The time we knew nothing about The  promises made, hidden from doubt The  things we were told before we were old Our weakness foretold our losses yet to come [Verse 2] They herded us up to wait in a line None  of us noted the passage of time A  book with a page on the cruelty of age And the wars they would wage in the name of our unhappy sons [Verse 3] Our  friends have not abandoned us yet Sisters and Brothers! Decisions regret Of passion bereft when nothing is left But the emptiness that became the only thing we knew [Verse 4] Last  night, I woke from a shout The glow of the street light shone from without The dust of our dreams suspended in beams In the hollow place that once belonged to you
