Being Boring

[Verse 1] I came across a cache of old photos And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white", one said with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer in the 1920s [Pre-Chorus] When you're young, you find inspiration In anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door She said we were never feelin' bored [Chorus] 'Cause we were never bein' boring We had too much time to find for ourselves We were nevеr bein' boring We dressеd up and fought, then thought, "Make amends" We were never holdin' back or worried that Time would come to an end [Verse 2] When I left, I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said if you're not careful You'll have nothin' left and nothin' to care for in the 1970s [Pre-Chorus] But I sat back and lookin' forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feelin' bored [Chorus] 'Cause we were never bein' boring We had too much time to find for ourselves We were never bein' boring We dressed up and fought, then thought, "Make amends" We were never holdin' back or worried that Time would come to an end [Verse 3] Now, I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing in the 1990s [Pre-Chorus] I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me [Chorus] 'Cause we were never bein' boring We had too much time to find for ourselves We were never bein' boring We dressed up and fought, then thought, "Make amends" We were never holdin' back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hopin' that lookin' back You can always rely on a friend
