From childhood's hour I have not been as others were
I have not seen as others saw
I could not bring my passions from a common spring
From the same source, I have not taken my sorrow
I could not awaken my heart to joy
And all I loved, I loved alone
I can't tell you what I'm thinking
I know you're wandering
It's nice to leave
We feel younger in California
I'm just wrecking all the best of me
I'll cherish all the best memories
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wonder why you always tell me never be the same
I wonder why you're feeling stronger making all your mistakes
Take me back to then when every little thing was f*cking pretty
Take me back to then when everything was for growing
And I fall and we fall, it ain't working
Take me back to then when every little thing was f*cking pretty
And I fall and we fall
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die
