Okkervil River - Stay Young lyrics

rate me

Young, stay young

Stay strong, don't get on with it

Gone, way gone with it

It’s all done with it

You’re all done

All my friends are running to live

On corners

Hurters and the haters and the faders

And the mourners

The world goes to its work and it heads not gentle

And what it breaks you down into

All my friends are looking in life

And it’s a lone, lone, lone, lonely child

I said that when you met I was just tired

I said it to know, I said it in silence

Young, stay young

And face y’all now, our time to quit

Strong, stay strong

Mind blowing that y’all drum sick

All these hateful people judging and hand bringing

Lord, why don’t you bury me in all they call sinning?

Open up your heart, show me the place where love is missing

How long have you been missing love?

I said all creation posing and diving up between them

Now you have to live it up because my head is spinning

I try, try hard

To talk with you

And talk your god

Of love, of trust

Just me and your love

And I call to all my friends

All the cracked could set a thriller

All the hand inside a tiller

And a hundred job a biller

Settled by the stone

I was rejected by the builder

There was drinking out the thought

They carried from the bloody building

Never let it be said that it wasn’t really

The shit I know you're missing, girl

Then I’ll pass the edges of the earth and make it wider

I see you’re crying

Don’t you know it’s killing me?

I climb, climb up, way up

To see the sun

One, one job

One life, one love

Is all we got

Young, stay young

Get tough

Get hard with this

Young, stay young

Heart racing, sky raining

Young, I said let it come

Let it come

Stay young

Stay young
