I love
Pentatonix, and am currently addicted to their new video, “Can’t Sleep Love.” I
recently watched a documentary about their recent tour. It made me long to be
on the road, making music for adoring fans. It also made me want to be 30 years
younger.
When I Was Younger

I'm giving it the
benefit of a doubt
Don't know why
I'm almost certain that if I think it out
It'll just be worse tomorrow and the next day
I'm living in a delicate pensive hour
And my cries are poorly worded
Lately I've lost the power to reason what I say
No more believing I did the best I could
Didn't want you to leave me, but I guess I understood
A long time ago when I was younger
A long time when I was younger
The distant past is overcast and gray
And the light is glowing dimmer till it completely fades
But I can't reverse events with such denial
The tinted glass my memory has won't stay
Through the night if there's a glimmer of a familiar place
Where our love had its trial
No more believing I did the best I could
Didn't want you to leave me, but I guess I understood
A long time ago when I was younger
A long time when I was younger
What was in my head when I said I'd be fine alone?
If I had only known when I was younger
Yesterday, when I was younger
It must have been at last a million years
I don't' trust the clock
It must have stopped when you went away from here
No more believing I did the best I could
Didn't want you to leave me, but I guess I understood
A long time ago when I was younger
Yesterday, when I was younger
Don't know why
I'm almost certain that if I think it out
It'll just be worse tomorrow and the next day
I'm living in a delicate pensive hour
And my cries are poorly worded
Lately I've lost the power to reason what I say
No more believing I did the best I could
Didn't want you to leave me, but I guess I understood
A long time ago when I was younger
A long time when I was younger
The distant past is overcast and gray
And the light is glowing dimmer till it completely fades
But I can't reverse events with such denial
The tinted glass my memory has won't stay
Through the night if there's a glimmer of a familiar place
Where our love had its trial
No more believing I did the best I could
Didn't want you to leave me, but I guess I understood
A long time ago when I was younger
A long time when I was younger
What was in my head when I said I'd be fine alone?
If I had only known when I was younger

No more believing I did the best I could
Didn't want you to leave me, but I guess I understood
A long time ago when I was younger
Yesterday, when I was younger
