Lyrics
[Verse 1] What's that you say, I knew you when? You don't look too much like my friend Those history books, filled up with crooks Stories I don't want to read again [Pre-Chorus] I've tried to live One thousand years from here [Chorus] When I think of it now It just brings me down when I think of you now And when I think of it now It just brings me down when I think of you now [Verse 2: Bruce Springsteen] I'm keeping time, one day goes by I try to live 'til the next one But these history books, full of haunted looks From people I don't want to see again [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I've learned to live But they try to hold me here [Chorus] When I think of it now It just brings me down when I think of it now And when I think of it now It just brings me down when I think of you now [Bridge] You just remind me of the nights of smoke and dirty jokes Darkened rooms with lonely ghosts And they were beautiful some time ago But time keeps rollin' us on [Chorus] When I think of it now It just brings me down when I think of you now And when I think of you now It just brings me down when I think of you now [Bridge] You just remind me of the nights of smoke and dirty jokes Darkened rooms with lonely ghosts And they were beautiful some time ago But time keeps rollin' us on [Outro] Rollin' us on Rollin' us on Rollin' us on Rollin' us on Rollin' us on
