It's been a minute since we believed
It's been a while since I could see
That we were all on it, we felt it honestly
I've been lookin' for ways to live
I've been knocked back
I've left myself to give it up
And try to keep this alive
And time ticks on and people die
Some of us get stuck in here, left behind
As we find grey hairs and change our clothes
It leaves us to wonder, "Where in hell life goes?"
When we're all gettin' jaded, we're losin' our will
I can't help myself from wonderin' still
Are we chasin' the same dreams I had when I was 19?
When I was 19
When I was 19
When I was 19
Are we chasin' that dream?

Calm down, come down
Try and pick your head up off the ground
'Cause 'round and 'round and 'round, yeah
That won't do us any good
And time ticks on and life drives by
Friends feel like a portrait of a different time
When you had long hair and boundless hopes
Sewn up in your three minutes of rock and roll
And we all got jaded, we lost our will
I can't help myself from wonderin' still
Are we chasin' the same dreams I had when I was 19?
When I was 19
When I was 19
When I was 19
Are we chasin' that dream?
(Ah-ah)
Are we chasin' that dream?

(I might feel dead to the world)
(It's just another day)
(Is this my time drawing close?)
(I'll find some other way)
To keep it goin' 'cause I'm afraid
That I've seen my death and I've felt it all subside
Maybe I've lost it, maybe we lost it, yeah
'Cause time ticks on, people die
I feel like I'm stuck in here, left behind
I've found grey hairs and changed my clothes
I've been left to wonder, "Where did my youth go?"
We've all been gettin' jaded, I've lost my will
I can't help myself from wonderin' still
