Lyrics Not As Old As You Think - Paper Aeroplanes

Saw your picture by the mirror
Your eyes were brighter from far away, you said:
Since you joined us, the city circus
You lost your purpose and wilder ways, but they're still
Underneath the surface, down beneath the dust,
And that is all that you've lost

You're not as old as you think
You're not as frayed at the seams
It's not as hard to be perfect
As you've been led to believe
Not just imaginary people
Who live in love songs and dreams
So lean in to the moment and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realise it

Magazine says
Your life's wasted
But you could save it with beauty cream
They don't know
These lines and spaces across our faces are
Maps and memories of where we've been

Don't let them play upon you
Don't believe the hype
Don't let it weigh on your mind

You're not as old as you think
You're not as frayed at the seams
It's not as hard to be perfect
As you've been led to believe
Not just imaginary people
Who live in love songs and dreams
So lean in to the moment and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realise it

You've got a body of its own design
You're not a number in a line
You're out of rhythm but you still have some time

You're not as old as you think
You're not as frayed at the seams
It's not as hard to be perfect
As you've been led to believe
Not just imaginary people
Who live in love songs and dreams
So lean in to the moment and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realise it.
