Lyrics The Magnetic Fields – I Was Born
Text:
I was born — I hate this part
Being someone new
Being torn — seeing someone who died
As you grew
Growing older is killing a child
Who laughed and smiled
At anything
Growing colder and less and less wild
And learning to say
Who laughed and smiled
At anything
Growing colder and less and less wild
And learning to say
I was young — then not so young
Scary either way
One more rung down that black ladder
Every day
One more floor
Down the elevator
To oblivion — what fun
But the singularly awful one
Is being born
Album
The Magnetic Fields – The Magnetic Fields - I
The Magnetic Fields – It’s Only Time
The Magnetic Fields – Is This What They Used To Call Love
The Magnetic Fields – Irma
The Magnetic Fields – Infinitely Late At Night
The Magnetic Fields – In An Operetta
The Magnetic Fields – I’m Tongue–Tied
The Magnetic Fields – If There’s Such A Thing As Love
The Magnetic Fields – I Wish I Had An Evil Twin
The Magnetic Fields – I Was Born
The Magnetic Fields – I Thought You Were My Boyfriend
The Magnetic Fields – I Looked All Over Town
The Magnetic Fields – I Don’t Really Love You Anymore
The Magnetic Fields – I Don’t Believe You
The Magnetic Fields – I Die
