A Youth Written In Fire

Remember the first time we got high We felt like the rabid lions roar We were elastic and then we were healed Healed in the blinking of an eye And then when the dawn cracked over us The day wouldn't hit us hard at all We could ride the morning into night again We knew the days were there to waste But these days That light hit so heavy And those days Feel like another life This isn't like the first time anymore And I've been chasing that too long Digging for the lost memories Of a youth written in fire You always said it's not too late for me I sure am listening to you now Believe in me so I can trust myself 'Cause there's a first time for that too Remember the first time that we kissed It felt like a planet forming But we were just novices at this It felt like an ancient wisdom There was lightning then and those Songs were all proved true No wonder I still think so much about you But these days My heart feels too heavy And those days Are someone else's life This isn't like the first time anymore And I've been chasing that too long Digging for the lost memories Of a youth written in fire You always said it's not too late for me I sure am listening to you now Leaving me so I can trust myself 'Cause there's a first time for that too
