Everything You Knew As a Child (2016)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're sittin' in a cafe Feelin' good, havin' fun You're watching a tiny sparrow Hopping on the table And you're feedin' it some crumbs You look up and see someone watching you With disgust and fake hygienic fear (Wha?) You knock the table over as you stand up saying It's just a sparrow Is there anyone sane around here? [Chorus] Everything you knew was good and true When you were just a child It hasn't gone away Everything you knew was right to do When you were just a child It hasn't gone away [Verse 2] We watched you catch your first fish And then we watched you cry We watched you make a wish for the world As you freed a butterfly Then you closed your beautiful forehead And opened up your book of life Trying on the clothes of being A rebel, leader, conformist, pleaser, victim Just tryin' to get it right [Chorus] Everything you knew was good and true When you were just a child It hasn't gone away (Everything you love) Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was right to do When you were just a child (Everything beautiful) It hasn't gone away [Post-Chorus] Everything that you love Everything that you trust Everything beautiful [Verse 3] As you knew in the beginning So you shall know once again As you finally overturn the tables Of the press of throng in the temple within There's a fire building inside you Burning off dross and straightening out the track You're starting to hear music again And when you lose your taste for salt You won't look back [Chorus] Everything you knew was good and true When you were just a child It hasn't gone away (Everything you love) Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was right to do When you were just a child (Everything beautiful) It hasn't gone away (Everything you love) Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was good and true When you were just a child (Everything beautiful) It hasn't gone away (Everything you love) Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was right to do When you were just a child (Everything beautiful) It's just been waiting for you [Outro] (Everything that's beautiful) It's beautiful It's just been waiting for you
