Golden Years
You'll think I'm naïve
But these golden years are bronze at best to me
Wish I could sleep
'Cause I'm just so tired of who I'm supposed to be
Live while I'm young
Is this all there is in being wild and free?
I bite my tongue
But my youth is starting to wear on me
Oh, I
Spent years chasing, racing, praying for a sign
That there was more to this
Maybe it's just for the better
I don't care if I'm left out
I tried to feel young forever
But I have it figured now
Won't be the best times I can remember
Growing out of my hometown
'Cause I think being young is such a let-down
When i'm 96
I won't be regretting that I started to
Live just like this
Saying no to what I don't want to do
I won't be complacent, pacing,
Waiting for my life to catch up to me
Maybe it's just for the better
I don't care if I'm left out
I tried to feel young forever
But i have it figured now
Won't be the best times I can remember
Growing out of my hometown
'Cause I think being young is such a let-down
No more lying, no more saying that I'm having some fun
There's no more gnawing doubt of missing out, that life has been done
So in with the old and out with the new
'Cause the best lies ahead beyond my youth
No more lying, no more saying that I'm having some fun
There's no more gnawing doubt of missing out, that life has been done
So in with the old and out with the new
'Cause the best lies ahead beyond my youth
But these golden years are bronze at best to me
Wish I could sleep
'Cause I'm just so tired of who I'm supposed to be
Live while I'm young
Is this all there is in being wild and free?
I bite my tongue
But my youth is starting to wear on me
Oh, I
Spent years chasing, racing, praying for a sign
That there was more to this
Maybe it's just for the better
I don't care if I'm left out
I tried to feel young forever
But I have it figured now
Won't be the best times I can remember
Growing out of my hometown
'Cause I think being young is such a let-down
When i'm 96
I won't be regretting that I started to
Live just like this
Saying no to what I don't want to do
I won't be complacent, pacing,
Waiting for my life to catch up to me
Maybe it's just for the better
I don't care if I'm left out
I tried to feel young forever
But i have it figured now
Won't be the best times I can remember
Growing out of my hometown
'Cause I think being young is such a let-down
No more lying, no more saying that I'm having some fun
There's no more gnawing doubt of missing out, that life has been done
So in with the old and out with the new
'Cause the best lies ahead beyond my youth
No more lying, no more saying that I'm having some fun
There's no more gnawing doubt of missing out, that life has been done
So in with the old and out with the new
'Cause the best lies ahead beyond my youth
