Lyrics How To Be Young - Al Jacobi

I don't think I know how to be young
I can't see myself in who they all seem to become
And I keep on feeling wrong
Cause there's a party going on
All around me, but I'm hardly in the zone
Yeah, I'm not having fun right now
But you go have fun now
And Imma be there when it all comes down
I-I don't think I know how to be young
Cause nothing kicks off till I'm gone

Blinding lights and cloudy eyes say lighten up
But Friday night it all compiles to strident thoughts
And I got a lot on my mind, but
None of my thoughts are mine cause
I try so hard to align
With conduct that only keeps crossing my lines, so
What's my age again?
Cause I don't feel the same as them
I used to feel inapt
Now I don't feel like anything
And I can't turn my back
So I turn all my rage within
I can change the way I act
But I can't change the way I think

Cause I don't think I know how to be young
I can't see myself in who they all seem to become
And I keep on feeling wrong
Cause there's a party going on
All around me, but I'm hardly in the zone
Yeah, I'm not having fun right now
But you go have fun now
And Imma be there when it all comes down (down, down)
I-I don't think I know how to be young
Cause I don't hit it off till I'm gone

Lost somewhere between someone else's dream and consciousness
Somewhere between what I honestly mean and just talking shit
Between someone they'll all accept
And someone that I don't respect
Cause I wanna be seen, but not make a scene
And that's where it all seems to contradict
When I'm constantly fleeing the conscient collapse
Then wondering what did I miss
I'm just a comfortless kid
That's trying to slip into boxes I don't wanna fit
I've tried to go with the stream, but ended drowning instead
Now I don't know where to go next
And all of these things can get
So overwhelming I can't even get out of my bed
So tell me if I'm just not there yet
Or already past it
Cause every party I attend is like an open casket
And I don't know if that's just me, but life has lost its magic
So if that's what a proper youth is like, then y'all can have it

Cause I don't think I know how to be young
I can't see myself in who they all seem to become
And I keep on feeling wrong
Cause there's a party going on
All around me, but I'm hardly in the zone
Yeah, I'm not having fun right now
But you go have fun now
And Imma be there when it all comes down (down, down)
I-I don't think I know how to be young
Cause they all better off when I'm gone

I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone
