Once We Were Thieves Lyrics by Damn Seagulls
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
i knew somebody just like you
who never ever thought he would
get responsible for the things he does
and in the jail he ended up

i remember once we were thieves
we had the whole world at our feet
i hop my son will find his way
and learn from my mistakes

now i am only 22
so naive but not a fool
i write songs with my guitar
the last note is always hard to find

and maybe one day we'll get it right
i won't give up without a fight
tonight a season ends
but the struggle still goes on and on

now i've become just like you
i never ever thought i would
become just a shadow of what i used to be
i knew somebody just like you   who never ever thought he would   get responsible for the things he does   and in the jail he ended up      i remember once we were thieves   we had the whole world at our feet   i hop my son will find his way   and learn from my mistakes      now i am only 22   so naive but not a fool   i write songs with my guitar   the last note is always hard to find      and maybe one day we'll get it right   i won't give up without a fight   tonight a season ends   but the struggle still goes on and on      now i've become just like you   i never ever thought i would   become just a shadow of what i used to be
