Lyrics Timeless Youth - Telltale

Timeless Youth

We could wash the past away
As the sun sets on the James
Up all night, to sleep all day
When nothing ever stays the same
Remember two short years ago
When we first met I looked at you
And thought for once in life, I don’t feel like
The outcome’s mine to choose
But they don’t wanna see us free
They want us stuck in the concrete
Forever unashamed to be all that we can be
They tried to take, take, take our timeless youth away
The tried to break, break, break us down and cast the blame
But they could never make our colors fade
No way to wash away our saving grace
They’ll never take, take, take our timeless youth away
We could watch our past decay
As the sun sets on the bay
And although the viewpoint has changed
Our aspirations stayed the same
Now our balance gets shaken up
And sometimes it makes me numb
To think about how once I would spill my guts
Now my mouth just stays shut
But they don’t wanna see us free
They want us stuck in the concrete
Forever unashamed to be all that we can be
They tried to take, take, take our timeless youth away
The tried to break, break, break us down and cast the blame
But they could never make our colors fade
No way to wash away our saving grace
They’ll never take, take, take our timeless youth away
The world will say that it’s all our fault
Make us believe we’re not good enough
Robbing the youth of their innocence, cover up their distress
There’s some things you just can’t forget
Just can’t forget
One time for my dead friends
One time for their words unspoken
One time for the dead ends
One time for the lies we say over and over and over again
They tried to take, take, take our timeless youth away
The tried to break, break, break us down and cast the blame
But they could never make our colors fade
No way to wash away our saving grace
They’ll never take, take, take our timeless youth away
