The Myth Of Youth

I was what you wanted

I saw your eyes reaching toward it

The one you never thought you'd get

Now i'm a picture in your wallet

Everything was simpler then

Nothing gained no one losing

We held the future in our hands

Now we've got nothing but the present

Tell me i'm a little bit

Like i was when i met you

It didn't end the way that we wanted it

Now we're just breath in a statue

I am here to love you

But i don't know if i can

What if all i ever will become

Is nothing but a man

I am here to love you

But i don't know what that means

I just want to feel how i feel

Not wonder if it's real

I want you to be real

I knew what i wanted then

I was living for the summer

Soon we would be growing up

And we could finally have each other

Now that i am looking back

All i needed was to wonder

But we let ourselves forget to forget

And so we ended in an answer

I am here to love you

But i don't know who i am

If only i could just forget to ask

Take me to my younger years

Running round the woods

With all my useless dreams

No one could tell me what was real

When you're young you can forget

Anything at all

And you wear it like a mirror
