I Used To Think That Everyone Was Faithful
Nostalgic Reflections: Lost Innocence and Growing Up
Lyrics
I used to think that everyone was faithful
I used to believe that everyone was faithful
It's funny what the innocent believe
It's ironic how the innocent tend to believe
At 21 I fell in love so easily
At 21, I easily fell in love
It's easier to love fall when you're naive
Loving is easier when you're naive
Like swimming in the ocean never wary
Similar to swimming in the ocean without caution
Unaware of what lives underneath
Unaware of hidden realities
Everyday was a never ending summer
Every day felt like an endless summer
Of hanging with my mates up on the heath
Spending time with friends on the heath
But then I met you and everything went grey
Meeting you changed everything to a dull, grey state
Now the city smoke is covering the sun
City smoke now obscures the sun
And I let you make a fool of me
I allowed you to make a fool of me
Now I never ever give my love to anyone
Now I'm hesitant to give my love to anyone
To anyone
Not willing to give my love to anyone
I wish that I
I desire to see the world as I did at 21
Could see the world like I did at 21
When my heart and eyes were open wide
When both my heart and eyes were open wide
When I believed in the good in everyone
When I saw the good in everyone
Believing in the goodness of everyone
The good in everyone
The goodness in everyone
Now that I am putting pen to paper
As I put pen to paper, every page is filled with questions
Every page is full of question marks
Questioning why nobody warned me about love
Like why the hell didn't anyone anybody warn me
Falling in love is akin to swimming with sharks
When you fall in love you're swimming with the sharks
Feeling overwhelmed with fear at times
And I get overwhelmed with fear sometimes
Fearing that I may never be the same person
That I'll never ever be the boy I was
Recognizing that growth comes with bitterness
But I guess everybody grows with time
Realizing that everybody grows with time
But the bitterness is stopping me from feeling young
Bitterness hindering me from feeling young
I want to feel young
Yearning to feel young
I wish that I
Desiring to see the world as I did at 21
Could see the world like I did at 21
When my heart and eyes were open wide
When both my heart and eyes were open wide
When I believed in the good in everyone
When I saw the good in everyone
Believing in the goodness of everyone
The good in everyone
The goodness in everyone
Now that I'm reflecting on my story
Reflecting on my story of friends and lovers
How friends and lovers come and go like ghosts
Realizing they come and go like ghosts
Of all the people that I've had around me
Missing the younger version of myself the most
The younger me is who I miss the most
Desiring to see the world as I did at 21
I wish that I
When my heart and eyes were open wide
Could see the world like I did at 21
When I believed in the good in everyone
When both my heart and eyes were open wide
Believing in the goodness of everyone
When I saw the good in everyone
The goodness in everyone
I wish that I
Desiring to see the world as I did at 21
Could see the world like I did at 21
Because I miss those times
Cos I'm missing those times
Missing the times when I saw the good in everyone
When I saw the good in everyone
When I was young
Back when I was young
Reflecting on the past when I was young
