Jen Foster - We Were Gods lyrics

Words by Jen Foster

Music by Jen Foster & Danny Torroll

Light the stars in your eyes

Quiet doubts in your mind

Follow me to the place where our colors bled

The young, invincible ones

Rockets aimed at the sun

We never once questioned where we were going

They called us all wrong, and they trashed all our songs

They dressed us for church, and they threw us in blind

We gathered our hands, and we turned towards the wind

It was our time

We were gods, we were gods

We were gods, at least, we thought

I will never forget

Days we skipped out of class

The subtle crash of a kiss still forbidden

When time was our time to waste

And love was ours to forsake

And all our biggest mistakes gave us all our best stories

We threw out the map, and we tossed up our caps

We swore that we'd break every brick in that wall

But it took all our breath when we found that they'd set us up

To fall

We were gods, we were gods

We were gods, at least, we thought…..

Before we were lawyers

And homeless self-employers

Before we crash-landed

Into the sky...

We were gods, we were gods
