LyricMeaning

To Be Young
Tall Heights

Oh it was white sand and deep blue waves

We were running up to shore

Sun glints on sparkling faces

I don’t feel or see anymore

To be young


We’re just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream

My job, my house, my car, my whole social scene

So high are the stakes, every move we make

Sends us down, down, down in that stream


Here in the only life I know

Those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs

That’s just the way the story goes

All I’ve learned I still wish I didn’t know

All I didn’t know, oh, when we were young


When I was young I told myself I’d keep my friends

They were good and I was true, didn’t need to end

Oh how they’ve risen they fallen

Like the sun circles round

Guess I’ve done just as well as anyone

Hard to accept it, I’m just anyone


But here in this only life I know

Those summer days rush out like water from the lawn

It's just the way the story goes

Stand in line now and talk about the day

When we were young



My conscious could’ve sunbathed

Every day in my bright blue mind

Now it’s crowded with guilt and purpose and

I just want it all aligned


Here in the only life I know

Not taking orders I don’t know which way to go

That’s just the way the story goes

And I’ll be damned if I’m to live it out alone

Here in the only life I know

With any waste of time it hits so close to home

It’s just the way the story goes

And I’ll be damned if I’m to live it out alone

I won't live it out alone


We’re just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream

My job my house my clothes my whole social scene

So high are the stakes

So high are the stakes, every move we make

Sends us down, down, down in that stream

And one day, one day, one bright clear day

I think we all might just disappear

Sink on down in that river cold and clear, my dear

On down like leaves in an icy stream

On down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
