Lyrics
Impossible 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.
Hands that can't stop shaking
Place the mirror on the shelf
She looks for signs of beauty
Never sees herself
Smoothes her dress of Oxfam tat
Then runs to find her boys
Running ragged in the town
Not a thing can bring them down
Watch them calling, calling
To the void
What you going to do
When you know the truth?
You're impossible youth
Watched him running through the blossoms
To the bus that quaked and roared
Opens up another un-read book
Dreams to his lover's door
They spill across the floorboards
They're so dangerous and fun
They're superhuman, ordinary
Don't want to hear your sad old story
Don't look at thеm
They're brightеr than the sun
What you going to do
When you know the truth?
Of impossible youth
Water so warm, so clear, so deep
It shrieks, it calls to you
You run, you spin, you take the leap
It's all that you can do
One breath, to last a life time
Now dive deep, dive deep
What you going to do
When you know the truth
Of impossible youth
