Gentlemen
Echoes of Youth: Navigating Life's Twists in Teddy Geiger's 'Gentlemen'
Lyrics
I was blinded by the lights I saw reflecting in their eyes
I was captivated by the brightness reflected in their eyes.
It blinded me from the sea of everybody's smiles
It distracted me from the multitude of smiles around.
I was young at best so I thought I'd test the night
I was relatively inexperienced, so I decided to explore the night.
I thought that we could leave before the lights fell down
I believed we could depart before the lights dimmed.
I wasn't listening
I was not paying attention.
So carry on young gentlemen
Continue forward, young gentlemen.
I have done all that I can
I have done everything within my capability.
I have done all that I'll stand for
I have defined my limits; I won't tolerate more.
Carry on young gentlemen
Continue forward, young gentlemen.
I have done all that I can
I have done everything within my capability.
I have done all that I'll stand for
I have defined my limits; I won't tolerate more.
We left after dark, the sun had fallen for the moon
We departed after dark, transitioning from sunlight to moonlight.
And all the moments raced, its going way too fast its way to soon
Time rushed, and moments passed too quickly.
So I sat alone before a moment they came back
I sat alone before memories returned.
Now I'm stuck right here reeling in the slack now from my previous night
Now I'm stuck, processing the aftermath of the previous night.
So carry on young gentlemen
Continue forward, young gentlemen.
I have done all that I can
I have done everything within my capability.
I have done all that I'll stand for
I have defined my limits; I won't tolerate more.
Carry on young gentlemen
Continue forward, young gentlemen.
I have done all that I can
I have done everything within my capability.
I have done all that I'll stand for
I have defined my limits; I won't tolerate more.
Deliver me now from everything we should not do
Free me from actions we shouldn't engage in.
It's so unpredictable instead of knowing just what you're gonna do
It's unpredictable, not knowing what you'll do.
And even the moments that will pass something is different
Even in passing moments, something feels different.
Even though its hard to mean that
Although it's challenging to express that.
I wasn't listening
I wasn't paying attention.
So carry on young gentlemen
Continue forward, young gentlemen.
I have done all that I can
I have done everything within my capability.
I have done all that I'll stand for
I have defined my limits; I won't tolerate more.
Carry on young gentlemen
Continue forward, young gentlemen.
I have done all that I can
I have done everything within my capability.
I have done all that I'll stand for
I have defined my limits; I won't tolerate more.
I'll stand for something, I'll stand for something
I'll stand for something; I'll uphold a principle.
I will stand for something, yeah
I will stand for something, indeed.
Carry on young gentlemen
Continue forward, young gentlemen.
I have done all that I can
I have done everything within my capability.
I have done all that I'll stand for
I have defined my limits; I won't tolerate more.
