As It Is – John Hughes lyrics

[Intro]
No dad, what about you?

[Verse 1]
How long's it been since I was young?
Fifteen years since wooden guns
Six years since playing board games was anywhere near fun
And it'd be over-dramatic to say the world'll forgot about me on its way
But that's not always enough to keep cursing the whole of the Earth at bay

[Pre-Chorus]
No one knows me like John Hughes did
I think we all relate to that

[Chorus]
Because we've all felt unsung from every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was easier when we were young

[Verse 2]
How long's it been since 'overwhelmed' was still a word I couldn't spell
Let alone the most obvious choice for a word to define myself?
I never thought I'd be this young a man to be doubting the cards in these hands
That jitter and shake half the time from the coffee I drink and rely on to stand

[Pre-Chorus]
No one knows me like John Hughes did
I think we all relate to that

[Chorus]
Because we've all felt unsung from every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was easier when we were young
Because we've all felt unsung from every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was easier when we were young

[Bridge]
There'll be days when we lose our way like a feather
(What are we destined for?)
But we all live and we die in this cold, cold world together
What are we destined for?

[Chorus]
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
Because we've all felt unsung from every mouth and every lung (No one knows me like John Hughes did)
We've all felt that life was easier when we were young (No one knows me like John Hughes did)
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
Because we've all felt unsung from every mouth and every lung (No one knows me like John Hughes did)
We've all felt that life was easier when we were young (No one knows me like John Hughes did)
