Lyrics 17 - Youth Lagoon

17

Roaming the campground out by the lake where we swam
We were hunting for snakes
But we couldn’t find them
Surrounded by nothing
But the nothing’s surrounded by us
But it’s just me in my room
With my eyes shut
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
«Don't stop imagining.
The day that you do is the day that you die.»
Now I pull a one-ton carriage
Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn
I was having fun
We were all having fun
My brain can think faster than I can
I’m not fast enough
Who is there to talk to
That won’t lock me up?
At least God doesn’t judge me by the thoughts that aren’t mine
The snakes I couldn’t find
I don’t want to find
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
«Don't stop imagining.
The day that you do is the day that you die.»
Now I pull a one-ton carriage
Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn
I was having fun
We were all having fun
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
«Don't stop imagining.
The day that you do is the day that you die.»
Now I pull a one-ton carriage
Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn
I was having fun
We were all having fun
