Tuck Everlasting

I spent the better part of a year

Writing songs and running in circles

I tried to keep my conscience clear, but it's hard

When you're stuck in the same place again

And every legacy I've built

Is taken away by time

I'm sick of waiting for all the stars to align

I'm running on fumes from the past five years before me

And how I used to be

Anxious yet optimistic

Oh, I've changed, and how I miss it

Because they say

"Those best years are behind us"

So I'll seek out the fountain of youth

Even if it only brings me that much closer to you

Live like you want a future

I'm a skeptic in the audience of a magic show

But I'm the one that wants to disappear

Into the great unknown

(The great unknown)

But the clock hands are out to get me

I can feel their palms around my neck

And I can't breathe, and I can't sleep

I can't sleep

I'm running on fumes from the past five years before me

And how I used to be

Anxious yet optimistic

Oh, I've changed, and how I miss it

Because they say

"Those best years are behind us"

So I'll seek out the fountain of youth

Even if it only brings me that much closer to you

I'm stuck in traffic

Surrounded by bodies

Suspended in vessels with the stereo on

Lather, rinse, repeat

Just please don't forget me

'Cause I know you're waiting

(And I'm sick of waiting too)

Those best years are behind us

(And I'm sick of waiting too)

Those best years are behind us

And I'm sick of waiting

I'm running on fumes from the past five years before me

And how I used to be

Anxious yet optimistic

Oh, I've changed and how I miss it

Those best years are behind us

So I'll seek out the fountain of youth

Even if it only brings me that much closer to you
