Wasted Youth. versuri

Wasted Youth. lyrics by Ben Zaidi, Flowers of Bad

Verse 1
Driving all my life with my windshield cracked
But we don’t see the scars when we look right past
I told you if I go, I’ma be right back
And I ain’t gonna slow ’til I got no gas
We were getting high by the railroad tracks
Chewing up pills ‘til my sight went black
I’ve been living too short just to die like that
‘Cause in this little world ain’t a damn thing last

Chorus
Wasted youth is all it was
Tell the truth just because
And I know it’s far away
But I can’t leave it all the same

Verse 2
Anyone can make love, can you make it last?
You asked me that night when the lake was black
There’s nothing I know more than the things I lack
I’m looking out the door and I ain’t unpacked
I don’t think I’ve cried since we kissed that night
Whatever I try it won’t leave my sight
So I’m gonna ride the road ‘til I catch my breath
It’ll either be that or I catch my death

Chorus
Wasted youth its all it was
Tell the truth just because
And I know it’s far away
But I can grieve it all the same
