When I Was a Boy

I’m stranded here, with my guitar
From when I was a boy
Waitin’ for my hands to strum any old chord
I set it down for a few years
Never thought that a few tears
Would bring me back to you

But it did, oh, but it did
Isn’t it funny how life works

I think you know it all
But you didn’t know a thing
Living with the truth of my mistakes
Inside of me but I wouldn’t take them back
Not even for a diamond ring
Or all the money in the world
It wouldn’t mean a thing
If I hadn’t fucked up so bad
And tripped right in front of you
Fallen so in love, when I didn’t try to

Reflecting on myself with a little bit of space
Learning with maturity what it really takes
And if I never saw the waves
And if I wasn’t so bеaten down
And if I just ignored my heart
Would I bе the man I am today?

I’m stranded here, with my guitar
From when I was boy
It’s taken my whole life to play, to try to enjoy
The little things I still got
I know that isn’t a lot

But it is to me, oh, but it is
Oh, but it is
Isn’t it funny how life works
