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.
Boy, when I left you, you were young
I was gone, but not my love
You were clearly meant for more
Than a life lost in the war
I want you to be happy
Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine
Funny friends that make you laugh
And maybe you're just a little bit dappy
Fly
Feel your mother at your side
Don't you know you got my eyes?
I'll make you fly
You'll be happy all the time
I know you can make it right
Boy, now your life is back-to-front
But you'll see that's not for long
'Cause I know you'll feel the ghost
Of some memories, so warm
Boy, I want you to be happy
Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine
Funny friends that make you laugh
And maybe you're just a little bit dappy
Fly
Feel your mother at your side
Don't you know you got my eyes?
I'll make you fly
You'll be happy all the time
I know you can make it right
Boy, I want you to be happy
Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine
Funny friends that make you laugh
And maybe you're just a little bit dappy
Fly
Feel your mother at your side
Don't you know you got my eyes?
I'll make you fly
You'll be happy all the time
I know you can make it right
I'll make you
Boy, I want you to be happy
Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine
Funny friends that make you laugh
And maybe you're just a little bit
