Old Man........................... Lyrics - The World We Know - I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business

Old man, you were young then 

Had so much love that 

You traded for gradient things 

So I walked up to your red door 

And I could not see a reflection of me 

So I laid down on your front lawn 

And let the grass grow up around me 

And wait... 

'Cause you've got me on my knees 

And right about now I'm begging you please 

I know you won't 'cause you've got needs 

And everything stops when everyone wants, we all need things 

So please... 

Red light, you say you want life 

But you stop right before the good part 

And the green light, yeah that's my left eye 

It gets so cold, I have to close them both 

And wait... 

'Cause you've got me on my knees 

And right about now I'm begging you please 

I know you won't 'cause you've got needs 

And everything stops when everyone wants, we all need things 

And right about now I'm on my knees 

The world we know, 

It's the world we lost. 

I said I've got the lines if you'd like to hear it 

I can't decide if you'd like to be there, too
