Well, I heard an old man say
Youth's lost on the young
If I'd had known what I know today
I would have lived my life like a smoking gun
But, I saved it up for a rainy day
And I'm still waitin' for that day to come
You only know that you had it, when it's gone

But, it's something I can't say
Though it's there on the tip of my tongue
It's something I can't change
For you can't stop a setting sun
And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs
But it's something I can't say
Though it's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue

Well, I heard a young man say
The truth's lost on the old
All I have is how I feel today
No matter what I'm taught and what I'm told
So I save it up, for a rainy day
Even though, that day may never come
And I won't know that I had it 'til it's gone, no

But, it's something I can't say
Though it's there on the tip of my tongue
It's something I can't change, no
For you can't stop a rising sun
And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs
But, it's something I can't say
Though, it's on the tip of my tongue
Ohh-oh on the tip of my tongue

Hey yeah, on the tip of my tongue (whoa)
Oh, on the tip of my tongue
