Lyrics
Wasted On The 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.
I'll be sitting on the back porch wondering
Is this really what I've come to know
Am I gonna have to lose my mind or
Are we gonna have to explode
You want a perfect love song
Reach ears break hearts
Well kill the cliche baby
We can all sound handsome and smart
All of this is crumbling...
I don't want to get old,
But I know, there's no other opportunities so
I take the world like I'm told,
Nice and slow
I don't want to get older so I won't
Spend all my days wondering hoping I don't
We're not getting older anymore
Well I'm just about to let you have this
Every bit of this infamy
Well I'm just about to let you know that
What it has all done for me
You want a perfect love song
Reach ears break hearts
Well kill the cliche baby
We can all sound handsome and smart
All of this is troubling...
Well I know it's the truth when they say that youth's been
Wasted on the young
Shake from the break of the state I'm in
You'll figure out that you need to spend
All of the time that you never really had
