We never get it on the first time
We never get it right
So we wander through the desert under cover of night
Looking for a fire that can bring us to life
Seen a lot of bad in a short time
So we've lived in spite
Yeah, we boarded all the doors
To the good outside
But you only get as old
As the callous on your soul, your soul
But if you let the darkness grow
You will get hungry for more
Until it consumes all
Oh, to be young again
To be confident and charming
And believe it never ends
I've been walking on a fine line
Between wrong and right
And it's taken me to places I knew better to go
Put on a lot of faces at the theater shows
Behind the curtain I am not a nice guy
I live with spite
And my bitterness compounded by the kids in the crowd
(So innocent and open as they sing it out loud)
But you only get as old
As the callous on your soul, your soul
But if you let the darkness grow
You will get hungry for more
Until it consumes all
Oh, to be young again
To be confident and charming
And believe it never ends
Oh, to be young again
I want to feel like I am closer
To the start than to the end
(Woah, woah) There's nothing you can do to stop from aging
All you have is this day
(Woah, woah) Every thought is a blessing
Every breath that you take
(Woah, woah) Everything outside of right now is illusory
It's not real
The past, the future, they don't exist, all you have is now
Is this enough for you?
Oh, to be young again
To be confident and charming
And believe it never ends
Oh, to be young again
I want to feel like I am closer
To the start than to the end
