Frightened Rabbit - Skip The Youth lyrics

rate me

And I've been digging that hole tonight

On my knees beneath the moon

All I need is a place to lie

Guess a grave will have to do

Won't you give me two minutes please

Just let me cover my eyes

All the hammer and scrape

Has been chipping away

At the lustre of life

So I will but I am so tired

If I can shake myself

I can dance with you

Though my body is far from old

I'm bound to useless youth

And I can't fake a fist to throw

Through the crust of the earth

If you find me don't wake me

I can't be shaken awake

If you don't stare at the dark

You can never feel bleak

Life starts to lose its taste

So I will but I am so tired

If I can shake myself

I can dance with you

I hear drums

The worn out beat of a tired heart

You are young

If this is the prime of life

I wish I could skip the blasted youth

Skip the youth

It's aging me too much
