Youth Lyrics

Mm, take me back

Take me back

I wanna be a wild thing

Running round

Frail but admired

Free to desire

At my heart's content

When the stars were my limit

I recall the simplicity

How easily the world would ignite in us a flame

Surround us in its mystery

Now we're grown, grit's hitting deep

Fire still burning but it just ain't the same

Cause now we know the misery

And what about you

Don't you ever miss your youth

(Is it just me?)

Just a little, just for a moment

Hopes and dreams were never deemed too big

And we were told that we could rule the world

And so we did

And so we did

Who are the lucky ones

Who never had to leave

I must confess

I am jealous

But don't be fooled

Though I miss those days

I am still in love with where I am today

Sometimes I just miss yesterday

I recall the simplicity

How easily the world would ignite in us a flame

Surround us in its mystery

Now we're grown, grit's hitting deep

Fire still burning but it just ain't the same

Cause now we know the misery

Peter Pan said not to grow up

But I didn't listen

Peter Pan said not to grow up

But I didn't listen

And what about you

Don't you ever miss your youth

(Is it just me?)

Just a little, just for a moment

Hopes and dreams were never deemed too big

And we were told that we could rule the world

And so we did

And so we did

Peter Pan said not to grow up

But I didn't listen

Peter Pan said not to grow up

But I didn't listen

Peter Pan said not to grow up

But I didn't listen

Peter Pan said not to grow up

But I didn't listen
