Lyrics

Otis Redding

Do ya remember
When we were hungry?
Do ya remember
When we were cold?
Do ya remember
When we were happy?
Do ya remember?
Do ya remember?
Do ya remember
When we were lucky?
We were livin the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms,
We'd sit and watch the stars die

Ayayayayayayayayay

Do ya remember
When we were the losers?
Do ya remember
When we were the lame?
Do ya remember
When were the lovers?
Do ya remember?
Do ya remember?

Do ya remember
When we were strung out?
Eatin' Top Ramen,
Macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep

I wish I had one more life

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be blind

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna live inside this daydream anymore

I just wanna be happy again

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be blind

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be blind

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be blind

I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours, too
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune

Do ya remember
When were were hungry?
Do ya remember
When were cold?
Do ya remember
When we were happy in a way,
No one outside could ever know?

I wish I had one more life...

How I wish I had one more life to live.

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be blind

I dotn wanna be wasted
I dont wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be

I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna be blind

No, i dont wanna be blind
No, i dont wanna be blind
