"Long Time Ago" lyrics - THE JAYHAWKS

Guess I got the best of what was taken
Really what is left is almost gone
I guess you figured out that I was fakin'
All along

So you take a seat back in the middle
And you don't dare push what you might find
The same old scratch, the same old rhythm
Just a different line

[Pre-Chorus:]
And you can't control
What you used to own

[Chorus:]
'Cause it was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know
It was such a long time ago

All you ever learned was to deliver
Never really knowin' what you have
Now you're left with all that water
From a dirty well

[Pre-Chorus:]
But you can't control
What you used to own

[Chorus:]
'Cause it was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know
It was such a long time ago

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
'Cause it was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
And you couldn't do much 'cause you were in a rush to know
It was such a long time ago
It was such a long time ago
It was such a long time
