There was a time
\nthere is always a time
\nwhen you were happy<\/p>\n
And you see it clearer
\nbrighter
\nlouder
\nwith every passing day
\nthat drifts
\nclean
\naway<\/p>\n
It takes on the form
\nthe mythic scope
\nof a utopia<\/p>\n
And you would give anything
\nto get back there
\nto get back
\nto a life
\nthat life
\nthat vibrant fucking life<\/p>\n
But you can’t go back there
\nbecause it never existed
\nand when you were there
\nit was another
\nearlier
\nworld
\nthat you wanted<\/p>\n
