Youth

I hate the clocks

Making me older

Time fading like beauty from the eyes of my beholders

And yet if I could I'd skip through these grey days

Just to throw my arms around you

I'd tell you

I've missed you

What's taking you so long

To find me

I'm ready

I'm ready

So say you will love me

Say you will love me

Tell me you're running

Say you will love me

Cos I've been wasting my years

Incubating the fear that I'm made for lonely

And I just don't know what to do

Now that I'm standing on the edge of my youth

When I was young

I thought by now life was over

And women gotta smile

With their 2.5 and settle down into domestic composure

But I wasn't chosen

So months kept on rolling

I learned to live without you

Don't need you

I want you

What's taking you so long to

Find me

I'm ready

I'm ready

So say you will love me

Say you will love me

Tell me you're running

Say you will love me

Cos I've been wasting my years

Incubating the fear that I'm made for lonely

And I just don't know what to do

Now that I'm standing on the edge of my youth

Do you ever wonder

If we passed each other

On the the cold hard high street

Head down, concrete

I don't wanna grow up

No no taller

I don't want be free

Anymore

Say you will love me

Say you will love me

Tell me you're running

Say you will love me

Cos I've been wasting my years

Incubating the fear that I'm made for lonely

And I just don't know what to do

Now that I'm standing on the edge of my youth
