I'm gotta fill the void with music
I'll fill the void with song
'Til my cup runneth over
All night long
I'll live in vans crammed with guitars
I'll sleep on floors and play at bars
I'll dance to my own metronome
'Til chaos feels like home
I'll grow colder
I'll grow bolder
I'll grow older
And keep fillin' my cup
I'll grow colder
I'll grow bolder
I'll grow older
But I'll never grow up
And this is not a passing phase
(It was just a passing phase)
Oh, this is not a passing phase
(It was just a passing phase)
You see, I'll stay young for so long
(It was just a passing phase)
'Til chaos feels like home
(It was just a passing phase)
Up and down from town to town
'Til van wheels go round and round
Up and down from town to town
'Til van wheels go round and round
Every night, play rock and roll
Get fucked up after the show
In the morning, lock and load
And then leave-
Right when it was starting to feel real.
Wish we could talk about how the means will not prepare you for the ends
How your epiphanies will become fair-weather friends
How death will make you lower your defenses
The only truth of youth is the grown-up consequences
See, song is a balm
But song cannot heal
You believed in it too long
Now I need something more than real
I need something more than real
Someday, the chords of age
Will drown out the life you've been dreaming of
Then you'll be out on your ass
And cursing a lass
Your song is just passing for love
My song was just passing for love
And you will never see her again
And I will never see her again
And we will never see her again
