Deep under the surface I keep the love Older and aware of A hidden universe I've prayed to be young And prayed to be inspired The words of your tongue Blister like fire
I can't let you go Slow down, don't leave Dying days of my youth Overtake me
There is a glimpse Of death in your eyes I am not prepared To let out those cries I've prayed to stay young But soon will be expired So lost in denial
I can't let you go Slow down, don't leave Dying days of my youth Overtake me
Breach in her womb Sheltered from strife Bearing the gifts, and burdens of life I've prayed to stay young But soon will be expired An age of innocence, long since gone
I can't let you go Slow down, don't leave Dying days of my youth Overtake me
Those who are looking backwards Chose to live as statues Frozen, fractured, youthful laughter, fades
I can't let you go Slow down, don't leave Dying days of my youth Overtake me
I can't let you go Slow down, don't leave Dying days of my youth Overtake me
