Stay Young Songtext

von Strata

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
