Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I've got too much on my plate

Don't have no time to be a decent lover

I hope it isn't too late

Searching for the time that has gone so fast

The time that I thought would last

My ever present past

I've got too much on my mind

I think of everything to be discovered

I hope there's something to find

Searching for the time that has gone so fast

The time that I thought would last

My ever present past, hmm

The things I think I did

I did I, did I, did

The things I think I did

When I was a kid

I couldn't understand a word that they were saying

But still I hung around and took it all in

I wouldn't join in with the games that they were playing

It went by, it went by, in a flash

It flew by, it flew by, in a flash

...

There's far too much on my plate

Don't have no time to be a decent lover

I hope it's never too late

Searching for the time that has gone so fast

The time that I thought would last

My ever present past, hmm

The things I think I did

I did I, did I, did

The things I think I did

When I was a kid, hmm

The things I think I did

I did I, did I, did, hmm

The things I think I did

When I was a kid

Oh, when I was a kid

...
