Текст песни: When We Were Younger Men + перевод

I still hear the silence echo across the hardwood floor

Screamin' as you cut across the room to that front door

Nothin' lasts forever, but I’d’ve sworn you’d stay

Ain’t it funny how the good things in life seem to fade away?

We were carryin' a heavy load

'Til one of use got tired of liftin'

We were headed down a dead-end road

In a car too far gone for fixin'

When I think about that summer and I still hear the sounds

Petty on the radio, «I Won’t Back Down»

I called you a brother, but you were closer than my kin

And it kills me knowin' you may never pass my way again

But I hope that every now and then

You look back fondly on the days when we were younger men

We packed up that 350 Ford Econoline

With hopes and dreams and other childish things men learn to leave behind

Spent a decade doin' circles, not knowin' what’s in store

Each town more magical than the town before

But we lost track of time

And the dark hair of our youth started to whiten

I watched my father’s face become mine

And the cruel hands of truth started to tighten

I still think about that summer, so long ago it seems

Petty on the radio, us «Runnin' Down a Dream»

I called you a brother, but you were closer than my kin

And it kills me knowin' you may never pass my way again

But I hope that every now and then

You look back fondly on the days when we were younger men

I remember back before that pendulum had swung

Back before we said the things that couldn’t be undone

I remember back when we were wild and we were young

I think about that summer, how it passed us by

Petty on the radio, us «Learnin' How to Fly»

I called you a brother, but you were closer than my kin

And it kills me knowin' you may never pass my way again

But I hope that every now and then

You will look back fondly on the days when we were younger men
