Stay Young
Nothing to lose is a path you can choose
and it feels just right at the time.
Then one day you awake with a fear you can't shake;
you're an actor forgetting your lines.
You were a star when you started,
so bright-eyed and ready
but now you just can't seem to shine.
Nothing to lose is a path that you choose
and it feels just right at the time.
But can you still remember your very first kiss?
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young.
There are constants like gravity,
heartbreak and shame,
you can never out-run them,
they're part of your name.
Like lessons you learn from a past you can't change,
stay young, stay young.
for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews,
yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic
when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes
but can work up the nerve to be critics.
Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss?
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young
- no, don't lose you heart.
Don't lose your soul.
Don't give up control.
It's the business end of a loaded gun,
facing tomorrows of black, useless lungs
with nothing but lies left
on tips of our tongues,
stay young, stay young!
Oh can you still remember your very first kiss?
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Trying to keep up our innocence
In this fucked up world?
Stay young, stay young.
Stay young,
stay young,
stay young...
Nothing to lose is a path that you choose
and it feels just right at the time.
Then one day you awake with a fear you can't shake;
you're an actor forgetting your lines.
