Damn Seagulls - once we were thieves lyrics

i knew somebody just like you

who never ever thought he would

get responsible for the things he does

and in the jail he ended up

i remember once we were thieves

we had the whole world at our feet

i hop my son will find his way

and learn from my mistakes

now i am only 22

so naive but not a fool

i write songs with my guitar

the last note is always hard to find

and maybe one day we'll get it right

i won't give up without a fight

tonight a season ends

but the struggle still goes on and on

now i've become just like you

i never ever thought i would

become just a shadow of what i used to be
