Lyrics The Sunshine of Your Youth (Plastic Plates Remix) [Soleil Mix Edit] - Cheerleader

It's a worn-out family photo
Circa 1995
And it looks like you're all happy
But you can't imagine why
And now you're trying to explain
Things that need no explanation
And you're searching for some way
To do it over again
Now it's over
Now that you're older are you
Dreaming of the sunshine of your youth?
You know that it's useless looking back
There's no redemption there for you
You're making a promise to yourself
You'll put those habits on the shelf
Can you make a promise
To be honest with yourself?
While you were out searching for something
All of your friends have settled down
Has it been this way forever
And you've only noticed now?
And now you're trying to explain
Things that need no explanation
And you're searching for some way
To do it over again
Now it's over
Now that you're older are you
Dreaming of the sunshine of your youth?
You know that it's useless looking back
There's no redemption there for you
You're making a promise to yourself
You'll put those habits on the shelf
Can you make a promise
To be honest with yourself?
Now are you dreaming
Tell me how you're feeling
And now you're trying to explain
If you could only find some way
To start all over again
It's not too late
You'll find the strength to start again
