"When I Was Younger" lyrics

"When I Was Younger"

Oh when I was younger I danced out in the open
I spun around till I fell down and I was nearly broken
Now my heart it sings to mend the strings my spirit has awoken
And I was out sleepwalking I was dazed all in emotion

And now the light is so bright I could see
For miles through distant trees
Oh feeling so free
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh all these little things they pulled at my heart
And I'm gonna make a new start
And oh I surrender you see
Oh to whatever my future may be
Oh-oh, oh-oh

I needed to calm down cause I had found
That I used to be so complicated you see
I'm spreading the news that I ain't got the blues
Oh so far I could see oh for miles through the trees
I changed my view to a different hue
And now I can see clearly again
