They will try to take this from you Nothing that I can say will get you to listen Nor should it Its what makes youth so blissful I did not wanna hear it either But maybe just a warning? And you can keep your eyes peeled for the signs You will know them because itll be an adult Talking about your youth While speaking in absolutes Theyll tell you that youre gonna level off too That nothing stays all dreamy and breathless and bursting at the seems Does growing old mean growing strong enough To kill you sentimental side And set free all those little butterflies From the cage that housed your beating heart? Id rather die than see them go Cant wipe these pretty songs from my eyes What broke and made you look up at the stars in the sky And see only the stars And the sky? Poison words prey on lovesick minds Sometimes I feel that they dont even know theyre telling lies
