Golden Years

You'll think I'm naïve But these golden years are bronze at best to me Wish I could sleep 'Cause I'm just so tired of who I'm supposed to be Live while I'm young Is this all there is in being wild and free? I bite my tongue But my youth is starting to wear on me Oh, I Spent years chasing, racing, praying for a sign That there was more to this Maybe it's just for the better I don't care if I'm left out I tried to feel young forever But I have it figured now Won't be the best times I can remember Growing out of my hometown 'Cause I think being young is such a let-down When i'm 96 I won't be regretting that I started to Live just like this Saying no to what I don't want to do I won't be complacent, pacing, Waiting for my life to catch up to me Maybe it's just for the better I don't care if I'm left out I tried to feel young forever But i have it figured now Won't be the best times I can remember Growing out of my hometown 'Cause I think being young is such a let-down No more lying, no more saying that I'm having some fun There's no more gnawing doubt of missing out, that life has been done So in with the old and out with the new 'Cause the best lies ahead beyond my youth No more lying, no more saying that I'm having some fun There's no more gnawing doubt of missing out, that life has been done So in with the old and out with the new 'Cause the best lies ahead beyond my youth
