1999 Lyrics by Active Child

Mercy

2015

[Verse 1]
I think about you all the time
Wonder if when you think of me you smile
Because from the moment we met it was out of our hands
Jumping free
I know

[Chorus 1]
So, on it goes
A man and a woman linger alone
Thinking that you're out there
Unaware of this life that we're living
Thinking that you're out there
Unaware of this life that we're living

[Bridge]
Tell me, do you know?
When I'm looking out, rip through my soul
When I'm looking out, rip through my soul

[Verse 2]
Sit back and let the days unwind
Somewhere between now and 1999
And back in that time I was only a boy, soon a man
Jumping free
Now it's gone

[Chorus 2]
So, on it goes
Makes you want to lay down with the one that you love
Thinking that you're out there
Unaware of this life that we're living
Thinking that you're out there
Unaware of this life that we're living

[Outro]
Knowing you're out there, unaware
That you're, that you're
Won't be...
