The Classic Crime - Young Again

We never get it on the first time
We never get it right
So we wander through the desert under cover of night
Looking for a fire that can bring us to life

Seen a lot of bad in a short time
So we’ve lived in spite
Yeah, we boarded all the doors to the good outside

But you only get as old as the callous on your soul
And if you let the darkness grow
You will get hungry for more
Until it consumes all

Oh, to be young again
To be confident and charming and believe it never ends

I’ve been walking on a fine line
Between wrong and right
And it’s taken me to places I knew better to go
Put on a lot of faces at the theatre shows

Behind the curtain I am not a nice guy
I live with spite
And my bitterness compounded by the kids in the crowd
So innocent and open as they sing it out loud

But you only get as old as the callous on your soul
And if you let the darkness grow
You will get hungry for more
Until it consumes all

Oh, to be young again
To be confident and charming and believe it never ends
Oh, to be young again
I want to feel that I am closer to the start than to the end

There’s nothing you can do to stop from aging
All you have is this day
Every thought is a blessing
Every breath that you take
Everything outside of right now is illusory
It’s not real
The past, the future, they don’t exist
All you have is now
Is this enough for you?

Oh, to be young again
To be confident and charming and believe it never ends
Oh, to be young again
I want to feel that I am closer to the start than to the end
