Lyrics: 5 Seconds of Summer – Old Me (5sos)

[Intro: Luke]
Shout out to the old me and everything he showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
Had to fck it up before I really got to know me

[Verse 1: Luke]
Never a night alone, anywhere you wanna go
Woke up in the mornin’ wearin’ someone else’s clothes
Pictures in my phone with people I don’t know
Woke up in the mornin’, how the hell’d I make it home?

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
But I wondered if I’d ever, if I’d ever get enough
And I did some shit I never should’ve done, eh-eh
I would do it over now, I’d do it over

[Chorus: Luke]
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
Had to fck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Would have been the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me and everything he showed me
Had to fck it up before I let you get to know me

[Verse 2: Luke]
Another round, here we go, going in blow for blow
Look into the mirror, take the punches that I throw
I’m constantly reminded of all the compromises
All the people from the past who have a hard time letting go, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
But I wondered if I’d ever, if I’d ever get enough
And I did some shit I never should’ve done, eh-eh
I would do it over now, I’d do it over

[Chorus: Luke]
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Would have been the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me and everything he showed me
Had to fck it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh

[Bridge: Luke]
Devil at my door
Got me knockin’, knockin’, knockin’ on the other side
Ashes on the floor
But I’m walkin’, walkin’, walkin’ out of here alive

[Chorus: Luke with Calum]
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me (World was tryna slow me, yeah)
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely (Lonely)
Had to fck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Would have been the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid (Yeah)
Shout out to the old me and everything he showed me (Yeah, the old me)
Had to fck it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh
