Lifetimes lyrics
----------------------------------------------
We’d sit at your place
And sometimes we’d write 3 or 4 songs a day
We’d burn a cd
To pass around intellectual property
Cut and paste the cover
Artwork by a friend
Little girls with nets chasing butterflies

All those hours on planes
Thinking how life is so strange
Meet you at 9
Cue up for the Japanese breakfast line
That time Mike lost your pedals
You were so annoyed
You never let him touch your gear again

We were so young
We were so young
But not that young
We had lifetimes before

We were so young
We were so young
But not that young
We keep coming for more


We walked around the festival
Check out the bands that we didn’t know
I didn’t sing so well that day
You said, “not to worry, it was a great show"
Never guild the Lilly
It was perfect as it was
We were all so stupid and perfect

We were so young
We were so young
But not that young
We had lifetimes before

We were so young
We were so young
But not that young
We keep coming for more

La la la
La la la
La la la la la

So excited for new Bird and the Bee!! Been a fan since I first heard “Again and Again” on WYSO in Yellow Springs, OH. That was just a couple years ago… right ?? Feeling old now. ❤️❤️❤️

[BleedingSoul]

I'm crying because this feels like an anthem to my youth.

[sushisquishi]

I’ve been waiting with baited breath for a new release and this one did not disappoint. The homage to your earlier song in this one really brought a chill and warmth of nostalgia for me.

[claireh]

the again and again reference :’) i cried to this song it’s soo good but also very sweet-kinda bittersweet in a way

[snowman]

[rodgre]

So I thought I loved The Bird and The Bee as much as I could. Totally wrong. Totally wrong. This is absolutely amazing and exactly what I needed right now.

[CapnAndi]

Thank you for always coming to our rescue.

[SonofFreda]

I absolutely love this song. Everything about it

[kawerkamp]

Man the nostalgia of this song is INTENSE--totally transported back to my early years of college in the 90's, when the pathways and relationships of life were yet to be forged and the possibilities were endless....wish I could go back to this crossroad era of life when everything was still unknown yet so full of promise.

[ChuloDavidcito]

OMG, this is sonic ambrosia!!!! Thank you! Arigato! And.... the
