Lyrics Witt Lowry – Youth
Text:
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
I graduated Magna Cum Laude
What does that mean?
Still stuck paying Sallie Mae the next sixteen years of my life
And is it me or does that not seem right?
See I just wanna go back to playing tag and riding my bike
Damn life now could you tell me when did you get so hard?
I remember my biggest worry were my Pokémon cards
I put a lemonade stand right at the edge of my yard
That seemed so far, but now I hear there may be life on Mars
Yo, and it seems like just yesterday
She was at my house saying, «Could Mark come out to play?»
Now we’re both over school guess a real world on its way
It’s crazy how we go through life and take for granted each day
But hey things change, and people change
And that’s just a part of life don’t believe it will stay the same
Love with everything you got and don’t anticipate the pain
Because today is the day your whole world could just change
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Look how much can change in a year
You gain love, you lose love
You’re going out to your peers
And never being relevant I think’s my number one fear
So when I leave this earth I hope you all remember me hear
‘Cause I’m drunk and when I’m drinking I pretend like I just give no fucks
You see I rarely drink but stress got my cup filled up
Puke on my lunch and now the only way I look is done
Yo, since when does alcohol equal happiness
Know a couple people started drinking ain’t been happy since
When we were just kids we would never need a substance
Used to love the party now I realize that don’t mean shit
Fake friends and girls, change like nickels and dimes
This girl is telling you she loves you then changing her mind
Just make your every moment precious ’cause soon you will find
You’re buying clothes, cars, and diamonds, but you can’t buy time
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
Don’t tell me our youth is running out, it’s only just begun
