Youth

Sit and wish the world would settle down

Sit and hope the silence in your heart would drown

Writing lists of all the things unsaid

And wasting days by spending them in bed

With your youth and your time

And your bruises and bites

With your airs and your graces

Oh c'mon kid, you'll let it all go to waste

So find the cure that's feeding your design

The antidote that keeps your poison out of mind

Cos' sticks and stones they never broke your bones

They lit the burning fire in your soul

With your youth and your time

And your bruises and bites

With your airs and your graces

Oh c'mon kid, you'll let it all go to waste

Cut your heart in two

Half for me and half for you

Pull your inside out

Take yourself the long way around

Cos' you are so untrue

With your youth and your time

And your bruises and bites

With your airs and your graces

Oh c'mon kid, you'll let it all go to waste
