Youth Lyrics

And let me just begin

With I could have been

And I'm still writing songs in basements

When all my best friends

Are best friends with wedding rings and lots of plans

About where they'll go

Not where they've been

And I'm calling me out

I want to be

Someone else but I'm stuck

Inside these bones

That were grown by the hands of

A younger man

I won't be too quick to give away

What's left of my youth

But I've learned that needs change with age

And I'm changing too

I've got nothing left to prove

I'm 25 and a loser too

I'm the sum of my environment, inherited temperament, and decisions I want to un-do

And let me keep the pace

By blacking out to fall asleep

And spending bucks I don't have

Chasing a childhood dream

I won't grow old in broke down vans

Living off the backs of all my friends

So what's the point

In this existence?

So I'm calling me out

I want to be

Someone else but I'm stuck

Inside these bones

That were grown by the hands of

A naive man

I won't be too quick to give away

What's left of my youth

But I've learned that needs change with age

And I'm changing too

I've got nothing left to prove

I'm 25 and a loser too

I'm the sum of my environment, inherited temperament, and decisions I want to un-do
