[Verse 1]
When I was 21
Thought I was done
I had some fun I thought
And then at 24
I changed some more
Walked out a door and thought back when
When I was fourteen years
I crossed a sea
Entered a plea
Then tried to flee
Met up with you
And came to see what's true
[Chorus]
You can't be more than your past
It's true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
[Verse 2]
I said I knew you when
I can't pretend to know much more
When I had met you
I had just been born
I coulda sworn that was the start
When I was sixteen years
I thought back when
I had some friends
Cherished a past
That couldn't last
That wouldn't do
That never flew
And wasn't true
Or so I thought I knew
[Chorus]
You can't be more than your past
It's true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
[Chorus]
You can't be more than your past
It's true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
