Song Lyrics

I was right on the money
All this glitter and gold
It just keeps everyone
Worth looking for
So stop if you're honest
Ready or not
You tick all the boxes

But wish you were something you are not
I'm searching something you are not

I wasn't dreaming of these worn out places
When we were young, when we were young
I wish I knew what we'd become when we were young
I wasn't dreaming of these worn out places
When we were young, when we were young
I wish I knew what we'd become when we were young (when we were young)

You do what you want
And I'll do what I please
Don't stop doing you
And I'll keep being me
Take it or leave it
Takeover, go
I wish I was better

I'm wishing you're something you are not
I'm searching something you are not

I wasn't dreaming of these worn out places
When we were young, when we were young
I wish I knew what we'd become when we were young
I wasn't dreaming of these worn out places
When we were young, when we were young
I wish I knew what we'd become when we were young (when we were young)

Ooh-ooh, oh
Take me away
Ooh-ooh, oh
From the ordinary
Take me away

I wasn't dreaming of these worn out places
When we were young, when we were young
I wish I knew what we'd become when we were young
I wasn't dreaming of these worn out places
When we were young, when we were young
I wish I knew what we'd become when we were young, when we were young
