Nowadays

I loved how I slept when I was younger and content
With all the simple things I had so much more then
I had peace, I had you to tell me that it would all turn out just fine
So now I ask you, did we all turn out just fine?
Was it in me not to see you, not to close my eyes and turn?
Not to hear your voice when you're screaming out my name
How could I miss it now? Screaming out my name
I loved how we spoke with out eyes closed and our hands
Raised to the ceiling high, and our faith like fire burning inside-
Now we're empty and we don't know why
That's why I ask you, did we all turn out just fine?
I want to love something more than I love myself
I want to kill this need to be somebody else
I want to see my friends doing okay, not feeling sad and strange
But nowadays why is it so hard?
Cut my chest wide open to see that I'm still longing
I can't find what is missing. My peace is gone and it won't come back
Maybe that's why I'm always looking to the past
I want to love something more than I love myself
I want to kill this need to be somebody else
I want to see my friends doing okay, not feeling sad and strange
But nowadays why is it so hard? (To see you, to feel you here)
Nowadays why is it so hard?
