I can't believe I knew what I wanted

about

(For everyone who once was young)

lyrics

I had a yellow bike, banana seat, riding down school street and back
My friends all rode skateboards and we smoked in the back of their houses
I guess it was dangerous walking the streets at midnight
I mean... that's what you told me, that's what you told me
It must have been true

But now I can't believe it all was so easy
You wake up in the morning, make the coffee, cross the names off the list
And I know it was something to believe in
An echo of wanting, an echo of trying
I open the windows and the air begins to come in

My girlfriend's name was Katie. We sat on the swings and she told me my future
I fell pretty often but there wasn't that much to say
My focus turned eastward, over the mountains, into the country
There were trails in the woods. I coughed myself clean, there in your bedroom, and

I told you the truth. I told you what happened. It was there in the pool hall
It was there in the pool
Long nights and cool summers
Drive the car to a party
I don't know how it happened, left my jacket behind
But I didn't care about the corners of places
And I didn't care about the music you liked
I didn't try to make friends in low places
I can't believe I knew what I wanted.
