I wanna be young, I wanna write a song
About the next good thing to come along
I wanna
Take you by the hand, down through the sand
Sweet love until the sunrise
Well truth be told, you never know
If you're all washed up, if you never grow
Now take a shot, or let 'em fly
Being young is just a state of mind
So hurry up and take your time
Being young's just a state of mind
Everyday we get closer to giving what you got
Well you only get one shot
And I'm not just gonna be pulled along
By a broke down beat, Imma get me some
Im gonna take each moment as it comes
Till I'm six feet underground
I wanna be young, I wanna play dumb
Like when I was home late and said you'd never called
But the smoke in my hair and my eyes gave it all away
Well truth be told you always let this lie
And I love you for it cause that's the reason why
I'm the way that I am and that's who I'm supposed to be, yeah
Well being young is the closest thing to free
And everyday we get closer to giving what you got
Well you only get one shot
And I'm not just gonna be pulled along
By a broke down beat, Imma get me some
Im gonna take each moment as it comes
Till I'm six feet underground
I feel your light shining on me
I close my eyes
And when the world throws its worst at me
I'll improvise
Well you make your way through my troubled mind
With ease
And I'll be the one to break your fall
Just wait and see
And I'm not just gonna be pulled along
By a broke down beat, Imma get me some
Im gonna take each moment as it comes
Till I'm six feet underground
I wanna be young, I wanna write a song
About the next good thing to come along
I wanna
Take you by the hand, down through the sand
Sweet love until the sunrise
Well truth be told, you never know
If you're all washed up, if you never grow
Now take a shot, or let 'em fly
Being young is just a state of mind
And I'm not just gonna be pulled along
By a broke down beat, Imma get me some
Im gonna take each moment as it comes
Cause I wanna be young
