Lyrics
We used to try to shake it up
We used to attempt to bring about change or stir things up.
We never listened to the sound of silence
We ignored moments of tranquility or reflection.
We used to sleep under the sun
We used to rest or relax in the sunlight.
We never did it if it made us violent
We avoided doing things if they provoked violent reactions.
It's hard to recognise the things we have in our life
It's difficult to appreciate or understand the value of things in our lives until they're gone.
Until they're, we don't know
Until things are gone, we fail to acknowledge their significance.
We used to run under the stars
We used to move swiftly under the night sky.
Now we can see them in the sky above us
Now we only see stars from a distance, disconnected from them.
Didn't feel the change
We didn't feel the transition or transformation.
But seventeen seems to far away
Being seventeen seems distant or unreachable now.
I wish we could go back to when we were children
I wish we could return to our childhood.
Running in circles in glass houses
Metaphorically, we were carefree and vulnerable (glass houses).
I wish we could go back to when we were younger
I wish we could revisit our youthful innocence.
Nothing could touch us
We were invulnerable during our youth.
Can see the mountains
We can perceive the challenges (mountains) ahead.
Nothing ever feels the same
Life feels different from before.
I wish that we had never changed
Desire to revert to a previous state, wishing for no change.
I wish we could go back to when we were children
Yearning to return to the innocence of childhood.
Running in circles in glass houses
Metaphorically, returning to a simpler time.
Glass houses
Repetition emphasizing the vulnerability of the metaphorical glass houses.
Glass houses
-We used to love between the floors
We used to experience love in intimate spaces.
But it's hard to hold 'em when we're holding nothing
It's challenging to maintain relationships when there's nothing substantial to hold onto.
It's like a film we can't replay
Our past feels inaccessible like an unreplayable film.
Too hard to hear the lines and we are saying
Communication difficulties, misunderstanding our own words.
Oh God we've changed
Realization of significant personal change.
Now all that we can do is walk away
All that's left is to leave or walk away.
I wish we could go back to when we were children
Desire to return to a carefree time.
Running in circles in glass houses
Metaphorically, feeling trapped or constrained like in glass houses.
I wish we could go back to when we were younger
Yearning to recapture the innocence and fearlessness of youth.
Nothing could touch us
When young, nothing seemed threatening or harmful.
Can see the mountains
Recognition of upcoming challenges or difficulties.
Nothing ever feels the same
Feeling of permanence or unchangeable difference.
I wish that we had never changed
Regret over changes that occurred.
I wish we could go back to when we were children
Desire to return to a simpler, carefree time.
Running in circles in glass houses
Metaphorically, feeling confined or trapped.
Glass houses
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of vulnerability in the metaphorical glass houses.
Glass houses
-In glass houses
Reiteration of the desire to return to childhood, emphasizing the vulnerability of the metaphorical glass houses.
In glass houses
-I wish we could go back to when we were children
-Running in circles in glass houses
-I wish we could go back to when we were younger
-Nothing could touch us
-Can see the mountains
-Nothing ever feels the same
-I wish that we had never changed
-I wish we could go back to when we were children
-Running in circles in glass houses
-In glass houses
-Glass houses
-In glass houses
-Glass houses
