Do you remember when we were kids?   And the way that it was   Build a mountain of anything   And look out from the top   And bring a handful of rocks from school   Put them in a secret place in your room   But I don't know why we never think of ourselves that way   We held the world in our hands by doing something that everyone does   That's the way that is was      You cover all of your tracks   With pride, shame, and dust   Living like your saving for   When you're down on your luck   But I know you're trying to get ahead   You came over to me and said, "It's all OK."   You're thinking about this way too much   Your best friend, keeping your chin-up   But the feeling faded away at the end of the day      Hey, there are plenty of people I know   Who don't give their worth   They've said it's something they hide to outgrow   But I gave each one hell because they won't say what's really missing for them   But they wouldn't listen because   That's the way that it was   That's the way that it was   That's the way that it was   That's the way that it was   That's the way that it was   That's the way that it was
