Текст песни To Be Young - Tall Heights

Oh, it was white sand and deep blue waves
We were running up the shore
Sun glints on sparkling faces
I don′t feel or see anymore
I don't feel or see anymore
To be young
To be young
We′re just leaves (leaves) floating on down the stream
My job, my house, my car, my whole social scene
So high are the stakes, every move you make
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
Here in the only life I know
Those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs
That's the way the story goes
All I've learned I still wish I didn′t know
All I didn′t know, oh, when were young
When I was young I told myself I'd keep my friends
They were good and I was true, didn′t need to end
Oh, but how they've risen, they′ve fallen
Like the sun circles 'round
Guess I′ve done just as well as anyone
Hard to accept it, I'm just anyone
But here in the only life I know
Those summer days rush out like water from the lawn
It's just the way the story goes
Stand in line now and talk about the day
When we were young
My conscience could′ve sunbathed
Every day in my bright blue mind
Now it′s crowded with guilt and purpose and
I just want it all aligned
I just want it all aligned
I just want it all aligned
Here in the only life I know
That's just the way the story goes
And I′ll be damned, I'll be damned
Here in the only life I know
Not taking orders, I don′t know which way to go
That's just the way the story goes
And I′ll be damned if I'm to live it out alone
Here in the only life I know
With any waste of time, it hits so close to home
It's just the way the story goes
And I′ll be damned if I′m to live it out alone
I won't live it out alone
Won′t live it out alone
We're just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream
My job, my house, my clothes, my whole social scene
So high are the stakes
So high are the stakes, every move we make
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
And one day, one day, one bright clear day
I think we all might just disappear
Sink on down in that river cold and clear, my dear
On down like leaves in an icy stream
On down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
