| Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time
|
| Then one day you awake with a fear you can’t shake
|
| You’re an actor forgetting your lines
|
| You were a star when you started
|
| So bright eyed and ready but now you just can’t seem to shine
|
| Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time
|
| But can you still remember your very first kiss
|
| Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
|
| Stay young, stay young
|
| There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame
|
| You can never out-run them
|
| They’re part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can’t change
|
| Stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews
|
| Yeah it’s hard not to end up a cynic
|
| When everyone’s too scared to walk in your shoes
|
| But can work up the nerve to be critics
|
| Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
|
| Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
|
| Stay young, stay young — no, don’t lose you heart
|
| Don’t lose your soul. |
| Don’t give up control
|
| It’s the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black
|
| Useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues
|
| Stay young, stay young! |
| Oh can you still remember your very first kiss
|
| Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids
|
| Trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world?
|
| Stay young, stay young, stay young |
