Younger

When I was younger

I think I was stronger

There’s nothing like life to sober up

Isn’t it awful growing up

I miss all the fun

Seeing everyone

Didn’t notice my parents getting old

Isn’t it awful letting go

You said it you warned me

Said time would disown me

But I couldn’t see it

Until I could feel it

You said to me darling

Life won’t just come knocking

So go out and see it

While you are still breathing

I miss all the magic

Finding ghosts in the attic

And trying to sleep on Christmas Eve

But I got too cool for make believe

Remember the madness

Being broke from bad habits

Didn’t notice my friends were moving on

Can’t we go back to 21

You said it you warned me

Said time would disown me

But I couldn’t see it

Until I could feel it

You said to me darling

Life won’t just come knocking

So go out and see it

While you are still breathing

But every time I try to live like that

Life keeps throwing stones I just can’t catch

It steals my dreams and innocence

It fills my heart with common sense

Oh to be young

And oh to not care again

You said it you warned me

Said time would disown me

But I couldn’t see it

Until I could feel it

You said to me darling

Life won’t just come knocking

So go out and see it

While you are still breathing

Cos when I was younger

I think I was stronger

There’s nothing like life to sober up

Isn’t it awful growing up
