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 your 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 ****ed 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
