Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals - Younger Than Today Lyrics

Lyrics by Ben Harper
Music by Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals

you and i were looking at
old pictures yesterday
sitting in disbelief at
how time slips away
both at a loss for words to say
knew we'd never be
younger than today

foolishness protected us
from the world outside
they could never come between
us but we knew they'd try
we remembered living as
if there were a way
to forever be younger than today

never looked at anything
you didn't care to see
i was the one who wouldn't
let you leave
even though it was clear
you couldn't stay
had to try to be
younger than today

as we parted you
reminded me i'm alive
to remember when the stars
danced just for you and i
may the shimmer of summer
always light your way
and make you feel
younger than today
