Story Behind The Song
This old world keeps spinning around ...Building us up, knocking us down
Taking us time to realize ... Keeping us deaf ...Making us blindIt's a lonely place when you're climbing up high and you're sitting on top of the world
Looking down on all the places ...People you have known along the way

Lyrics
This Old World (Didn't We?) LYRICS: Keith Michael Field - KMF Music
Verse
Found a reason I don't care about the thing that used to bother me and now I let it go
It's just a weaker magneto sphere ...That makes us polarized instead
And why I want to tear your eyes out through your face ...and bash you head
Verse B
Something happened in the world ...It's not the same it used to be
I don't believe its happening America
I hear it in the rivers of my mind... I see it in the faces ...Hiding in the clouds
Chorus
This old world keeps spinning around ...Building us up, knocking us down
Taking us time to realize ... Keeping us deaf ...Making us blind
It's a lonely place when you're climbing up high and you're sitting on top of the world
Looking down on all the places ...People you have known along the way
Verse
Don't let anybody ...Tell you what to do ... Promises get broken
And some of you just want to screw around
Tenderness is lacking ... Sympathy is wrong
There's something miss ...ing in ...this world ...I want it back before its gone
Heard another story ...I thought it start bore me
And then I felt the tears swell up before my eyes ... I realize
Verse B
Something's happened in this world ...I don't believe it's not the same
It's Not Like growing up ...It used to be ... A place I want to be
I can hear it in the rivers of my mind... I can see it in the faces ...And Hiding in the clouds
Chorus
This old world keeps spinning around ...Building us up, knocking us down
Taking us time to realize ... Keeping us deaf ...Making us blind
It's a lonely place when you're climbing up high and you're sitting on top of the world
Looking down on all the places ...People you have known along the way
Verse
I'm thinking about all the things that I said floating around in the back of my head
Wondering about all the things that we did as a kid we
We were young ...We were dumb ...Having fun
Verse B
Something happened in the world it's not the same it used to be
I don't believe it's happening America
I hear it in the rivers of my mind... I see it in the faces ...Hiding in the clouds
Chorus
This old world keeps spinning around ...Building us up, knocking us down
Taking us time to realize ... Keeping us deaf making us blind
It's a lonely place when you're climbing up high and you're sitting on top of the world
Looking down on all the places ...People you have known along the way
Chorus
This old world keeps spinning around ...Building us up, knocking us down
Taking us time to realize ... Keeping us deaf making us blind
It's a lonely place when you're climbing up high and you're sitting on top of the world
Looking down on all the places ...Faces you have known along the way
