Youth

Boy, when I left you, you were young

I was gone, but not my love

You were clearly meant for more

Than a life lost in the war

I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly, feel your mother right at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes?

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

Boy, now your life is back-to-front

But you'll see that's not for long

'Cause I know you'll feel the ghost

Of some memories so warm

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly, feel your mother right at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes?

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly, feel your mother right at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes?

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right, I'll make you

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit
