Ask me what I'm here for
The answer is watching you
Try as you age
That's not the answer I was looking for
I'm hoping for the wisdom
In the things that you've known
But I've found it in the things that you owe

And if you were hurt, who would you turn to now?
If you were hurt, who would you turn to now?

These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
These are great times wasted
I was old pretending to be young

And now that you've chosen something
You told me you've chosen the same as before
So what is it I should know?
What is it I have to know?
What is it I have to choose to know?
It's what I don't know

And if you were hurt, who would you turn to now?
If you were hurt, who would you turn to now?

These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
These are great times wasted
I was old pretending to be

These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
These are great times wasted
I was old and I was young
I wasn't young
