My Morning Jacket - Two Halves

Remember when you was seventeen
You's goin' crazy, you know what I mean
It weren't that long ago, in the grand scheme of things
It weren't that long ago, you think you're so much smarter now
Twenty-one, everything stays in place, forty-one some things start to fade
Well when you're so young you wanna be older
And when you're older you want the body you have now

I believe in a perfect world you'd rule your own universe
The only company you'd need would be in your brain
The only company you ever need is in your head

You want this, now, you want that- cant have it all
You should enjoy what you have
But I know what you want
Well I know what you want
Well I know what you want
You want the better of two halves
