Lyrics
When you're young you hope to be
Menacing in vanity
Six feet tall, maybe more
Bigger now than before
They said it was leaving me
The magic was leaving me
I don't think so
I don't think so
They said it was leaving
They said it with joy
Now I can make this last forever
And be a boy
And be a boy
When you're young you hope to see
Them carve your name into the street
And bounce your words off satellites
That keep the wasted up tonight
They said it was leaving me
The magic was leaving me
I don't think so
I don't think so
They said it was leaving
They said it with joy
Now I can make this last forever
And be a boy
And be a boy
There's safety in a jungle
If you treat it like a toy
Make sure you talk to strangers
And be a boy
And be a boy
Be a boy
They said it was leaving me
The magic was leaving me
I don't think so
I don't think so
All of the boys that could have been someone
The time did come but now it's gone
The time did come but now it's gone
It takes a big man to be someone
All of the boys that could have been someone
The time did come but now it's gone
The time did come but now it's gone
It takes a big man to be someone
I'm half your age and lived twice your life
And I own the streets you walk tonight
The time did come but now it's gone
It takes a big man to be someone
I'm half your age and lived twice your life
And I don't sleep alone tonight
The time did come but now it's gone
It takes a big man to be someone
