Tall Heights - To Be Young Lyrics
Oh it was white sand and deep blue wavesWe were running up to shoreSun glints on sparkling facesI don’t feel or see anymoreTo be youngWe’re just leaves, leaves, floating on down the streamMy job, my house, my car, my whole social sceneSo high are the stakes, every move we makeSends us down, down, down in that streamHere in the only life I knowThose summer days rush out like warm air from my lungsThat’s just the way the story goesAll I’ve learned I still wish I didn’t knowAll I didn’t know, oh, when we were youngWhen I was young I told myself I’d keep my friendsThey were good and I was true, didn’t need to endOh how they’ve risen they fallenLike the sun circles roundGuess I’ve done just as well as anyoneHard to accept it, I’m just anyoneBut here in this only life I knowThose summer days rush out like water from the lawnIt's just the way the story goesStand in line now and talk about the dayWhen we were youngMy conscious could’ve sunbathedEvery day in my bright blue mindNow it’s crowded with guilt and purpose andI just want it all alignedHere in the only life I knowNot taking orders I don’t know which way to goThat’s just the way the story goesAnd I’ll be damned if I’m to live it out aloneHere in the only life I knowWith any waste of time it hits so close to homeIt’s just the way the story goesAnd I’ll be damned if I’m to live it out aloneI won't live it out aloneWe’re just leaves, leaves, floating on down the streamMy job my house my clothes my whole social sceneSo high are the stakesSo high are the stakes, every move we makeSends us down, down, down in that streamAnd one day, one day, one bright clear dayI think we all might just disappearSink on down in that river cold and clear, my dearOn down like leaves in an icy streamOn down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
