Hamilton Leithauser - You Ain't That Young Kid Lyrics

On the first night in June
In a very crowded room
The band was going on
When you told me we were done
So I couldn't play that song
Cause I wrote it about you
Yeah it always seems to come back to you

Now I don't have to tell you
Cause you've heard it all by now
I'm just one single voice in a choir
You won't hear me anymore
Just a bassist thumbing a tune
But that rumble reminds me of you
All the flash, all the fight
All the [?]
[?]
In a far corner of the room
And the music is loud
And it's just bringing you down
Cause I know that I lost you

The parking lot was dark
And I walked out of the bar
Found some folks hanging around
[?] highway now
The windows was down
And I never felt so sad
So I just tried not to think about you
On the final spot of sunlight
Dying on the dash
On some way too long with some way too young folks
And a man that you knew
Honestly wasn't me
Tell me honey, who could that be?

There's a letter I wrote
That I'll never send
Where I am at my weakest
And asked to see you again
Yeah I heard you were sorry
By someone you call a friend
In a letter I wrote
That I'll never send

Now there's ash in my heart
Where I used to burn
Your voice is diminished
Your whispers [?]
And there's no one to hurt me
And there's no one to hurt
Cause there's ash in my heart
Where I used to burn

Pictures of us dancing
From a lifetime, a lifetime ago
You in a green dress and I in a tweed vest
In a blurry gang of ghosts

Pictures of us dancing
From a thousand years ago
[?] kiss you
Still too long ago
