Wasted On The Young |
Hey, I was just thinking that maybe you don’t need to waste |
Some of the best days of your lives, trying so hard to abide |
By some preset list of rules |
Talking about conviction |
When you haven’t even been convinced of anything yet |
Just stressing about letting down all your friends |
It’s like having your mom pick out your clothes for you |
You’re still too young to know where you stand on anything yet |
And there is nothing wrong with that |
It might be kinda fun to get to know yourself a little while |
Take a left at every fork, stare into every cloud |
On the journey to find what’s in your heart the only thing to be united |
With is that pulsing in your veins |
But seriously, fuck all that for a while |
What’s the point of being a kid |
If you are not gonna run wild and break every stupid rule |
Even the ones that make those bands seem cool |
You might as well hang out at church |
Mark my words |
There’s still so much that you have yet to learn |
Your strongest beliefs the ones that will see you through |
Will come to you when least expected |
They can’t be forced, will not be shaped to fit |
Truth does not come when called |
And if you’re only young once and these days, they move fast |
Why would you waste one second of them |
Falling in line, following rules |
It sounds so simple but I know it’s fucking hard |
It’s gonna take a little while to find out exactly who you are |
But then maybe the day won’t come |
When you have to turn your back |
One all those things that you once stood for |
Left behind like some old pile of shirts |
I’ve seen it happen so many times before |
Spit in the face of a sacred oath |
That some of us took when ready |
