Текст песни Not as Old - Paper Aeroplanes

Saw your picture, by the mirror
Your eyes were brighter from far away, you said
Since you joined us, since the circus
You'd lost a purpose and wilder ways with us till
Underneath the surface, down beneath the dust
In there lies all that you've lost

You're not as old as you think
You're not as afraid as it seems
It's not as hard to be perfect
It's even less to believe

Not just imaginary people
Living love songs and dreams
Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it

A magazine says, your life's wasted
But you can save it with beauty creams, they don't know
These lines and spaces, across our faces are
Maps and memories of where we've been
Don't let them prey upon you, don't believe the hype
Don't let it weigh on your minds

You're not as old as you think
You're not as afraid as it seems
It's not as hard to be perfect
It's even less to believe

Not just imaginary people
Living love songs and dreams
Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it

You've got a body of a summertime
You're not a number in a chorus line
You're out of prison but you still have some time

You're not as old as you think
You're not as afraid as it seems
It's not as hard to be perfect
It's even less to believe

Not just imaginary people
Living love songs and dreams
Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it, to realize it
Not as old as you think, so don't let it take a lifetime
