To Be Young Lyrics

It's not easy
to fall asleep
when the hands of time hold me

I'm wide eyed
as the clock tick-ticks
in my lone bedroom

Got a feeling of animosity
for the things I haven't done

So I'm kneeling
to any god I see,
begging for time


So let me have tonight
before I lose my life

Had no time to be young
Had no time

I've heard so many lies
about an easy life

We'll take time to be young
We'll take time


So tell me, what can I do
to protect my fragile bones?

If a tragedy
should befall me
my plane fall from the sky

Believe it,
sometimes I really
mean goodbye

So pull me
out of my low
let my lungs inhale life


So let me have tonight
before I lose my life

Had no time to be young
Had no time


I've heard so many lies
about an easy life

We'll take time to be young
We'll take time
