Everything You Knew As a Child (2016)

[Verse 1]
You’re sittin' in a cafe
Feelin' good, havin' fun
You're watching a tiny sparrow
Hopping on the table
And you’re feedin' it some crumbs
You look up and see someone watching you
With disgust and fake hygienic fear (Wha?)
You knock the table over as you stand up saying
It’s just a sparrow
Is there anyone sane around here?

[Chorus]
Everything you knew was good and true
When you were just a child
It hasn’t gone away
Everything you knew was right to do
When you were just a child
It hasn't gone away

[Verse 2]
We watched you catch your first fish
And then we watched you cry
We watched you make a wish for the world
As you freed a butterfly
Then you closed your beautiful forehead
And opened up your book of life
Trying on the clothes of being
A rebel, leader, conformist, pleaser, victim
Just tryin' to get it right

[Chorus]
Everything you knew was good and true
When you were just a child
It hasn't gone away (Everything you love)
Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was right to do
When you were just a child (Everything beautiful)
It hasn't gone away

[Post-Chorus]
Everything that you love
Everything that you trust
Everything beautiful

[Verse 3]
As you knew in the beginning
So you shall know once again
As you finally overturn the tables
Of the press of throng in the temple within
There’s a fire building inside you
Burning off dross and straightening out the track
You're starting to hear music again
And when you lose your taste for salt
You won't look back

[Chorus]
Everything you knew was good and true
When you were just a child
It hasn't gone away (Everything you love)
Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was right to do
When you were just a child (Everything beautiful)
It hasn't gone away (Everything you love)
Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was good and true
When you were just a child (Everything beautiful)
It hasn’t gone away (Everything you love)
Everything you knew (Everything you trust) was right to do
When you were just a child (Everything beautiful)
It's just been waiting for you

[Outro]
(Everything that's beautiful) It's beautiful
It’s just been waiting for you
