Name: When I Was Young
Duration: P00H04M38S
Description: This was a skirmish title from last Sunday (Sept. 9). I got the title at 3PM, and proptly took a nap. Later that evening, I spent a couple of hours playing around with sample loops and guitars, and came up with the instrumental track. Over the next couple of days, I wrote lyrics for it and recorded the vocals. So it's clearly *not* a one-hour skirmish track. It's just... odd.

lyrics

You would think this would get easier
you'd get used to it, you'd get used to it
every call, I think "please be her"
do you get used to it, I'm not used to it

It's not like it's my first go round
I should be used to it, shouldn't I be used to it
but it hurts more every time I hit the ground
I'll never get used to it, why can't I get used to it

Every breath did not demand a scientist
When I was young, when I was young
I suppose I'd have gotten over this
When I was young, when I was young
but I'm not young... anymore

Hearts get crushed every other day
I should be used to it, ever so used to it
but I think this time I'm down to stay
I'm not used to it, I'm so not used to it

Every breath did not demand a scientist
When I was young, when I was young
I suppose I'd have gotten over this
When I was young, when I was young
but I'm not...

You would think this would get easier
you'd get used to it, shouldn't I be used ot it
please make my apologies to her
I'll never get used to it, I'll never get...

Every breath did not demand a scientist
When I was young, when I was young
I suppose I'd have gotten over this
When I was young, when I was young
but I'm not young... anymore
