Ruffled hair, a lose shoestring
Covered arms and a nosering
He’s just misguided I think
He goes out till the lights up
He doesn’t care for the day, hmm
He doesn’t know what he’s worth
But he’s self confessed and a little obsessed
Gets money from his parents to try and impress
I guess that’s adolescence at it’s best
He’s never put to the test but still distressed
And he keeps a bottle inside his vest
I guess that’s adolescence at it’s best
He says: Live fast and die young
Forget the past and move on
What’s done is done
He says: Live fast and die young
Forget the past and move on
You only live once
Hangs about at the skateparks
With his lighter and his pack of cards
He’s going nowhere
Maybe if life wasn’t so hard
If he got off to a better start
He’d be somewhere
But he’s self confessed and a little obsessed
Gets money from his parents to try and impress
I guess that’s adolescence at it’s best
He’s never put to the test but still distressed
And he keeps a bottle inside his vest
I guess that’s adolescence at it’s best
He says: Live fast and die young
Forget the past and move on
What’s done is done
He says: Live fast and die young
Forget the past and move on
You only live once
I’ll keep calm and carry on
Whilst he’s drunk all night long
He’ll sit with his guitar and play another song
Then he’ll give me a phone
Another 5am call, sitting worried in my hall
Will he come home tonight before it gets light?
I guess he might
I’ll just keep calm and carry on
Whilst he’s drunk all night long
'Cause he’ll be home by dawn
I’ll keep calm and carry on
Whilst he’s drunk all night long
‘Cause he’ll be home by dawn
He says: Live fast and die young
Forget the past and move on
What’s done is done
He says: Live fast and die young
Forget the past and move on
You only live once
What's done is done
