Youth

Write a song for when you miss me,
Write a song if you're my prince, she said.
I'm sorry for the hundred letters that I never sent.
I'm sorry for the songs, that I wrote you instead.

These songs don't sound the same anymore.
'Cuz things just aren't the same as before.

We could sing at the top of our lungs,
Do you remember that we're so young?
And we've got nothing to surrender.
And I'm yellin' at the top of my voice,
"If I only had one choice, you know I'd choose to be together"
Does she remember?

I wanted to tell you a hundred times
That you're the reason behind these rhymes,
But I just didn't know what to say
I was so scared that you'd run away
And it's the saddest thing
I hide behind these strings
And I'm singing songs and she's royalty
But if I was a king for a day,
I'd take us so far away

And we could sing at the top of our lungs,
Do you remember that we're so young?
And we've got nothing to surrender.
And I'm yellin' at the top of my voice,
"If I only had one choice, you know I'd choose to be together"
Does she remember?

I looked for so long,
For so long to find the truth
I looked for so long,
For so long to find my youth and it was you
When our greetings lose their meanings,
I write new music every evening
When our greetings lose their meanings,
I write new music every evening

We could sing at the top of our lungs,
Do you remember that we're so young?
And we've got nothing to surrender.
And I'm yellin' at the top of my voice,
"If I only had one choice, you know I'd choose to be together"
Does she remember?

I looked for so long,
For so long to find the truth
I looked for so long,
For so long to find my youth and it was you
