Lyrics Youth - Sam Roberts

Someone turn the lights off
I've been dreaming of the days of my youth
Blinded by the white sun
In the dream I always wake up too soon

On the first day, wide awake, candle on the birthday cake
Scraping these make-believe holidays by the sea
First snow, Peter Pan, holding onto mama's hand
I never wanna let it go

'Cause you're only young once
Try to remember
How your heart was beating
When you were young
You're only young once
They won't last forever
These days we are stealing
Under the sun

I can see that I have changed
But I feel like I'm the same wide-eyed child
Won't you take me there again (one more time)
So I can see the way I did back then for a while

On the school bus, paper planes, hats on graduation day
Slow dance, shaking hands, bare feet in the sand
First crush, heartbreak, never make the same mistakes
And never wish it all away

'Cause you're only young once
Try to remember
How your heart was beating
When you were young
You're only young once
They won't last forever
These days we are stealing
Under the sun

Time pulls you out child
Just know that I love you
Try to hold on to
These dreams you belong to
Sing from the heart child
That's all I ask of you
Try to hold on to
These dreams you belong to

The dreams you belong to
The dreams you belong to
The dreams you belong to
The dreams you belong to
