Almost 20 Years Ago Lyrics by Team Me

Return to the Riverside

2023

[Verse 1]
Can't believe it, it's almost 20 years ago
The phone rang, little did I know
Fell to my knees, my head in my hands
He'd given up everything, he gave up all his plans
What a waste, what a waste
[Verse 2]
I can't believe it, it's almost 20 years ago
Picked up the phone and said hello
A wave of fear hit me hard as hell
Turned to my mother, said, "I'm not feeling well"
What a waste, what a waste
[Pre-Chorus]
And we were only 16 and we had no perspective at all
My mind was set on thе band and the wonders of alcohol
[Chorus]
Running like thе river in spring
Responsive to everything
It may be just a little too much
Was there a touch of sadness in your tone?
Running like the river in spring
Responsive to everything
It may be just a little too much
Was there a touch of sadness in your tone?
[Verse 3]
I can't believe it, it's almost 20 years ago
What if you decided not to go?
Still in the band or just doing nothing
Together with a family, what do I know?
What a waste, what a waste
[Pre-Chorus]
And we were only 16 and we had no perspective at all
My mind was set on the band and the wonders of alcohol
[Chorus]
Running like the river in spring
Responsive to everything
It may be just a little too much
Was there a touch of sadness in your tone?
Running like the river in spring
Responsive to everything
It may be just a little too much
Was there a touch of sadness in your tone?
