When I was younger, I could've swore time was on my side
Now I'm a little bit older, and I'm beginning to fear now that I'll die
Too young, Too old
Too late, Too soon
When I was younger, my heart used to roam buck naked and free
Then I swapped it for a heart of money and society
Don't waste your life
On pennies and lies
'Cause people out there wanna steal your shine
And if you let 'em they will every time
When the goin' gets rough, don't think twice
Just take a deep breath and realize
That life's not a simple tune and sometimes we're led astray
Sometimes you've just had enough of it all and you just wanna get away
And just lose touch, babe
Forget about the world
But life is a pretty tune sung sweet and just off key
Don't worry about perfection dear, it's a lie straight through the teeth
Just enjoy this life babe
Love is all you need
Now that I'm older, I'm starting to drown in memories
Fearin' that the best times have come and gone like love at 16
Don't lose that fire
Inside of your soul
Now that I'm older, I'm starting to see the beauty in
All the small things and that sometimes losers really win
Don't waste your life
Being Mr. Right
'Cause people out there wanna steal your shine
And if you let 'em they will every time
When the goin' gets rough, don't think twice
Just take a deep breath and realize
That life's not a simple tune and sometimes we're led astray
Sometimes you've just had enough of it all and you just wanna get away
And just lose touch, babe
Forget about the world
But life is a pretty tune sung sweet and just off key
Don't worry about perfection dear, it's a lie straight through the teeth
Just enjoy this life babe
Love is all you need
