“When I Was Younger” is one of the emotional centerpieces of The Score EP, a reflective alt-pop track that captures Jonah David’s trademark blend of introspection, memory, and resilience. The song reads like a letter to a former version of himself—someone who’s still haunted by mistakes, small-town...
I left you by the side of the road
I never really knew where to go
Days keep coming around the bend
I can't stop them
God I wish I could
The worlds crumbling
When I was younger
And my brain's holding hands with what I thought would tear me down again
I keep loving more
I keep on going forward
Think that I'm loving more
But I keep keeping score with if I'm a good man
I guess it doesn't matter
You said to try your best
Still ended up inside my home town
I guess it's not as bad as it could be
What am I doubting
Hometown I found every
Every little thing
Every little thing
The worlds crumbling
When I was younger (younger younger)
And my brain's holding hands with what I thought would tear me down again
(down again
Down again
Down again)
It's not stopping
And I keep running
Most days I'm fumbling out
But I won't stop it
The worlds crumbling
When I was younger
And my brain's holding hands with what I thought would tear me down again
I thought would tear me down (tear me down)
Eh ay (tear me down)
Tear me down again
