The Black Keys - In Our Prime Lyrics

The Black Keys Lyrics

"In Our Prime"

Pour me down the drain, I disappear
Like every honest thing I used to hear

Like every lover hovers in my mind
We made our mark when we were in our prime
The house had burned, but nothing there was mine
We had it all when we were in our prime

Every now and then, I see a face from way back when and I explode
Friends no longer aid me, only bullshit serenade me like it's gold, how that we're told
I'm praying for some laughter, maybe joy for ever after till I die
I'm hungry for a change, I got my fill of other's pain, I realized
Opened my eyes

Like every lover hovers in my mind
We made our mark when we were in our prime
The house had burned, but nothing there was mine
We had it all when we were in our prime
