The Milk Carton Kids – Just Look At Us Now lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a kid you could look in my eyes
And see the whole world spinning there
I used to walk out in the rain at night
Just to feel it soak into my hair
I could've sworn we were headed somewhere
It was a fantasy that only drew empty stares
Angry "I don't knows" and "I don't cares"

[Chorus]
Just look at us now
Just look at us now

[Verse 2]
When I was a kid you could look to a time
When all the wars had come and gone
It was the end of all history, and dust settled down
It was a new dawn
We wanted to prove we were something, we were special
We knew in our hearts we weren't the only ones
Somehow we turned around and we were wrong

[Chorus]
Just look at us now
Just look at us now

[Bridge]
I cried out with no reply
Into the silence of the night
To the child that I don't recognize

[Verse 3]
When I met you, you could look in my eyes
And see a love light burning there
We used to walk up in the hills at dawn
To see the world coming up for air
You could've told me it would never end
Nothing could ever come between such two good friends
Make me another promise if you dare

[Chorus]
Just look at us now
Just look at us now
