Lyrics

Like Before You Were Born

The wind fans deadpan
We plummet through the wake
Well, that's my last mistake
Birds land then
Stand and fly astray
They'd do that anyway
It's just
Like before you were born
Through that peaceful moment
Like before you were born
Like before you were born
Like before you were born
I'm an old man
I tell the same old sun
"I get it, I've done it, I'm done"
Cars breeze past
Winding through the calm
I guess their lives go on
It's just
Like before you were born
Through that peaceful moment
Like before you were born
Like before you were born
Like before you were born
