They will try to take this from you Nothing that I can say will get you to listen Nor should it It's what makes youth so blissful I did not wanna hear it either But maybe just a warning? And you can keep your eyes peeled for the signs You will know them because it'll be an adult Talking about your youth While speaking in absolutes
They'll tell you that you're gonna level off too That nothing stays all dreamy and breathless and bursting at the seems
Does growing old mean growing strong enough To kill you sentimental side And set free all those little butterflies From the cage that housed your beating heart? I'd rather die than see them go Can't wipe these pretty songs from my eyes
What broke and made you look up at the stars in the sky And see only the stars And the sky?
Poison words prey on love-sick minds Sometimes I feel that they don't even know they're telling lies
