Lyrics Youthful Bliss - Seth Bowman

A ten year old boy in the back seat
Every other weekend you can find him right here, taking back streets (yep)
Following the path that they always took sight seein' (look)
Well that's what he called it, parents split, it's dads weekend
He can't wait to take a soda can he's finished drinking
Stuff it in his bike wheel and ride off in the distance shrinking
The closest thing he'll ever get to a dirt bike (uh huh)
His friend Mike had one and it was so nice (sheesh!)
He used to watch him ride his days away into the night
Complete solace in mind the kind you get behind
He's still stuck in the past stuck in 2008 (stuck)
A picture perfect family waiting to desenegrate
He's too afraid to brave the present ask him and he's straight (I'm straight man)
But when you look in his eyes his lies penetrate (You're lying bro)
It's almost too much to bare to much to regulate (uh huh)
Couldn't talk about it with friends it didn't resonate

I push on (push on) through days that are hard (hard)
Couldn't take my youthful bliss I'm on guard (couldn't take it!)
Never gonna ease up never gonna fail
I'm too clever for the scale a fairy tale (too clever)
I push on (push on) through days that are hard (hard)
Couldn't take my youthful bliss I'm on guard (couldn't take it!)
Never gonna ease up never gonna fail
I'm too clever for the scale a fairy tale (too clever)

It's kinda funny, when Sunday came around (yep)
He never wanted to go back to his home town (never)
He could drown in his thoughts even though they had no sound (so loud)
You could count out shouting over any of them now, uh (uh huh)
Down the same lonely road he always took
Always stowed away snacks for the ride with a book (always)
Overtaken by fear he don't wanna be a rook (nope)
Moving all around the board with no time to take a look, uh (no time at all)
Why did this happen to me
What could it possibly mean (what?)
Why did it have to be me (why?)
It should have been a bad dream (it should of)
That's what he says to himself but stays silent (uh)
He's like a fire hydrant full of pressure up inside him
He stays slim even if he eats times ten (uh huh)
I think the pressure on him is making him wear thin (for sure)
Hopefully soon it lays off and the past gets dim (uh)
For him he'll just have to learn to live with it, damn now he says

I push on (push on) through days that are hard (hard)
Couldn't take my youthful bliss I'm on guard (couldn't take it!)
Never gonna ease up never gonna fail
I'm too clever for the scale a fairy tale (too clever)
I push on (push on) through days that are hard (hard)
Couldn't take my youthful bliss I'm on guard (couldn't take it!)
Never gonna ease up never gonna fail
I'm too clever for the scale a fairy tale (too clever)

I push on (push on) days that are hard (hard)
Couldn't take my bliss I'm on guard (couldn't take it!)
Never gonna ease up never gonna fail
I'm too clever for the scale a fairy tale (too clever)
I push on (push on) days that are hard (hard)
Couldn't take my bliss I'm on guard (couldn't take it!)
Never gonna ease up never gonna fail
I'm too clever for the scale a fairy tale (too clever)
