Lyrics

You used to be a warrior

You had a past where you were brave and resilient.

Then you grew old and

As time passed, you aged.

started cutting your hair

You started conforming to societal norms, possibly losing a sense of individuality.

You used be courageous

You once displayed bravery and daring.


Now you just wanna be reading papers in your chair

Now, you aspire for a more passive, sedentary lifestyle.

How did you grow old so old so fast

Expressing surprise or concern about how rapidly you've aged.

Why don't you try and make that youth of yours last

Suggesting a desire to retain or recapture youthfulness.

I just think you won't do

The belief that you won't make necessary changes to regain your youthful spirit.

I just think you won't do

Reiterating the skepticism about your ability to change.


How did you have all that fun in your past

Wondering how you had enjoyable experiences in the past.

How didn't you manage to make that shit last

Questioning why those enjoyable experiences couldn't be prolonged or sustained.

I just think you don't see

The belief that you lack insight into your situation.

I just think you don't see

Reiterating the belief in your lack of awareness.


So come back, uh

Inviting or urging you to return.

Come back again

Reiterating the call to come back.

To where you belong

Return to your former place or state.

Uh-huh

Agreement or affirmation.

Don't hold back, no

Encouragement not to restrain oneself.

Don't hold back

Urging you to let go of inhibitions.

We know just who you are

Others recognize who you are despite changes.

We can tell you've been gone but we got you

Observing your absence but expressing support and understanding.


You can keep your glasses on

You can maintain a certain appearance or facade.

But you gotta let your hair down

You need to relax or be more casual.

You got yourself stuck in the middle of the road

Feeling stuck between responsibilities and financial matters.

In beetween all the bills and the money you own

Being caught in the midst of financial obligations.

You rushing out again

Continuously striving for more financial gain.

to earn even more

Constantly engaging in work to earn more.

You barely sleep, you gotta eat and you live in your zone

Struggling with balancing basic needs and obligations.

And so it goes on

Implying the continuation of this cycle.


So come back, uh

Repeating the invitation or urge to return.

Come back again

Reiteration of the call to come back.

To where you belong

Return to your former place or state.

Uh-huh

Agreement or affirmation.

Don't hold back, no

Encouragement not to restrain oneself.

Don't hold back

Urging you to let go of inhibitions.

We know just who you are

Others recognize who you are despite changes.

We can tell you've been gone but we got you

Observing your absence but expressing support and understanding.
