Weathered Youth

When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed
(we are the reckless, we are the the wild youth)
'Til the second round
When I grow old, the sun will cope
Shining on every youth stain, youth stain
(From the perfect start to the finish line)
Never settling down

And no wonder
I keep you close
You're the water
To quench my throat
And if I never
Let you go
Will you keep me young
Keep
Me young

When I grow old, my weathered soul
(Shadows settle on the place, that you left)
And memories recluse, elusive
(Chasing visions of our futures)
Help me take them out
So keep me young, and call my bluff
(One day we'll reveal the truth)
And help me out when you say, you say
There's no room for doubt

Say I'm stronger, and keep me close
And be the water, to test my cold
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young
Keep
Me young

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silouhette (my weathered soul)
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget (and my blood won't flow)
My eyes are damp from the words you left (keep me young)
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest

Oh, when my heart stops beating
(And you caused it)
And my blood turns cold
(And if you're still breathing you're the lucky ones)
And oh, when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow and oh,
('Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs)
When my heart stops beatin'
When you go, oh no, I know

When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
But just as long as you stay, you stay
I found a way out
