Wasted Youth

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

They say youth is wasted, wasted on the young

So they tell me, why are we having so much fun?

All the midnight dreamers falling into love

In our torn up sneakers, yeah, we were born to run

So I'm begging you

Hold on, hold on

To your wasted youth

Hang on, hang on

Cause it's going so soon

So let's get it while we're young

(We're wasted youth)

Yeah, we're bored and jaded

Sharing bubble gum

But these nights are sacred

There's freedom in our blood

Hold on, hold on

To your wasted youth

(We're diamonds in the rough)

Hang on, hang on

Cause it's going so soon

(Let's get it while we're young)

And shine on, cause we'll never be the same

We'll never be the same

(You know you know the truth)

Hold on, hold on

To your wasted youth

Let's get it while we're young

Let's get it while we're young

Let's go

Let's get stupid right now

Get to fooling around

Jump in the pool with you clothes on

Sleep with your shoes and on the futon

Time we got is right now, so we're making it count

Roll down the windows and scream it

Let's get it while we're young

Hold on, hold on

To your wasted youth

(We're diamonds in the rough)

Hang on, hang on

Cause it's going so soon

(Let's get it while we're young)

And shine on, cause we'll never be the same

We'll never be the same

(You know you know the truth)

Hold on, hold on

To your wasted youth

Let's get it while we're young

Ah, ah, ah, ah

We're wasted

Let's get it while we're young

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Let's get it while we're young

Yeah

Let's get it while we're young

Ah, ah, ah, ah

We're wasted, we're wasted

Ah, ah, ah, ah

We're wasted, we're wasted

Ah, ah, ah, ah

We're wasted, we're wasted
