I'm not the boy that I used to be

3. Broder Daniel - Shoreline



Ever since i was eight or nine
I've been standing on the shoreline
For all my life i've been waiting for something lasting
You lose your hunger and you lose your way
You get confused and then you fade away

Oh this town kills you when you are young
Oh this town it kills you when you are young

I'm not the boy that I used to be
This town has got the youth of me
All the eyes turn hollow
from the work of sorrow

You die young
You die when you're young
You die when you're young

We are shadows
Oh, we're shadows
Just shadows in the alley

Standing on the paving
by the office building
They've got so much to do
Never time for you

You die young
You die when you're young
You die when you're young

We are shadows
Oh, we're shadows
Just shadows in the alley

I've got nothing
Nothing to wait for
Nothing to wait for

Ooh

Where is life in this town?
Where is life in this town?
