World I Used to Know
Ryan Star Lyrics

Set the scene and close the door
Create the atmosphere and shut out any distractions

Lights go down, and we don't make a sound
The surroundings become dim, and we remain silent

And yeah we want so much more
We crave for greater things

But nights like this are perfect for now
These moments are ideal and precious in their own right

Never gonna make it stop
It will not end

You can't make it stop
It's beyond anyone's control

This is the town I used to know
This is the place I once was familiar with

This is the school we used to own
This was the place where we felt in charge of our lives

This is the wind that used to blow
This is the air that used to carry a certain feeling

This is the world I used to know
This is the world I once fully understood

Lying underneath the bed
Being in a vulnerable position

Your ceiling never felt so far away
Feeling isolated and distant

And tomorrow when we say goodbye
When the moment of departure comes

We'll promise that we'll always stay the same
We pledge to remain true to our current selves

But we're never gonna make it stop
The situation will not change

You can't make it stop
It's not within your power to alter it

We wished for lots of things
In the past, we had many aspirations

When we were seventeen
At a younger and more naive age

We're waiting for it now
We're anticipating it at present

I've got a million dreams
I have countless visions for the future

There is a life I see
I have an idea of the sort of existence I desire

This is the school we used to own
This was the place where we felt in charge of our lives

This is the school we used to
This is the institute we used to belong to

This is the school we used to own
This was the place where we felt in charge of our lives

This is the world I used to know
This is the world I once fully understood

This is the world I used to know
This is the world I once fully understood

This is the world I used to know
This is the world we all outgrew
