The - Jealous Of Youth lyrics

rate me

It's funny how, as we grow old<br />

We cling to the past as we cling to the air<br />

And feel nostalgia for things that were maybe never there<br />

<br />

The town where innocence was bullied and flared<br />

The house where desire's first fluids bled<br />

<br />

But now the autumn leaves are turning to the color of rust<br />

I'm getting jealous for youth's first yearnings for lust<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think<br />

<br />

There's a girl I used to know<br />

Who I think still lives 'round here<br />

Up there, on top of that council tower<br />

I was once her man<br />

At the midnight hour<br />

When I was as lusty as a dog<br />

Come moonshine or fog<br />

When our tongues would entwine<br />

Long and slow<br />

When we thought<br />

We'd never let each other go<br />

Oh no?<br />

<br />

But now the autumn leaves are turning to the color of rust<br />

I'm getting jealous for youth's first yearnings for lust<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think<br />

<br />

Yet it's funny how as we grow old<br />

We curse and point our finger at those<br />

Those, those, those<br />

Who made us scared and made us old<br />

Who touched our bodies and bruised our souls<br />

Who have made us scared and made us old<br />

It was those, God<br />

It was those<br />

Who made us scared<br />

And made us old<br />

<br />

The autumn leaves are turning to the color of rust<br />

I'm getting jealous for youth's first yearnings for lust<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think<br />

<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

I wanna live<br />

But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think
