Lyrics The Milk Carton Kids

The Milk Carton Kids

Just Look at Us Now

When I was a kid you could look in my eyes and see the whole world spinning there

I used to walk out in the rain at night just to feel it soak into my hair

I could've sworn we were headed somewhere

It was a fantasy that only drew empty stares

Angry "I don't knows" and "I don't cares"

Just look at us now

Just look at us now

When I was a kid you could look to a time when all the wars had come and gone

It was the end of all history, and dust settled down, it was a new dawn

We wanted to prove we were something, we were special

We knew in our hearts we weren't the only ones

Somehow we turned around and we were wrong

Just look at us now

Just look at us now

I cried out with no reply

Into the silence of the night

To the child that I don't recognize

When I met you you could look in my eyes and see a love light burning there

We used to walk up in the hills at dawn to see the world coming up for air

You could've told me it would never end

Nothing could ever come between such two good friends

Make me another promise if you dare

Just look at us now

Just look at us now
