lyrics

Youth

When I look at the sky
I see the light in your eyes
and it makes me sad for you

Not sad in a way that's relateable I guess
I'm just sad at all the ways most things
won't come true for you
most likely
here

I don't mean to be discouraging dear
But it's like the sky
and I am going to
rain down
the truth

as I see the truth
really
when I look around
at all the things that
haven't been true
we've been sold all these lies
we've been told since our youth
all the things we wanted to be true

I believed them
did you?

When I look at the sky
all I see now is
all this bright white light
It makes me sad and happy
at the same time
and I know that doesn't
rhyme with anything we were
told we should feel about life
it feels real and alive
and I'm only trying to understand
and I know that I may never understand
the things I planned to do

Especially all the things that
never came true
Especially all the things
I tried way too hard to make true
against their will
against the truth
of what I've seen
here

it's a kind of sad and happy truth
It lets you off the hook
from your dreams of youth
You can be anything here
and you can change your dreams
every year

It's kind of sad and then it's happy
It's kind of happy til it's sad
when you think of all the ways
that every little thing is
filled with all these lies
that we're spreading
all the time

and I'm wanting to remain
and I'm wanting to remain okay
I'm wanting not to throw away
the whole dang game
I'm wanting to
remain okay.
