Augustana - Youth Is Wasted On The Young lyrics

rate me

Saw my reflection in the mirror, didn't recognize myself

I felt more distant and more useless than the dust upon the shelf

I tried to fix it but I only ended up hurting someone else

Oh, lover, can you hear me? I'm so scared and I need a little help

I've built so many bridges, then I sat and watched them burn

I had so many chances, never took the time to learn

If I could change the past, go back, erase what I had done

I'd redo everything, youth is wasted on the young

Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk

Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk

You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on the young

Youth is wasted on the young

Even the thought of me without you sends a shiver down my spine

I'd spend a lifetime on my knees for just the chance to keep you mine

And like a rocket I shot up and then I crashed and burned

I put the pieces back together as the seasons turned

If I could change the past, go back, erase what I had done

Redo most everything, youth is wasted on the young

Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk

Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk

You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on the young

Youth is wasted on the young

Wasted on the young

Youth is wasted on the young

Wasted on the young

Yeah, you gotta crawl before you walk

Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk

You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on the young
