Stay Young - Strata

Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time

Then one day you awake with a fear you can’t shake

You’re an actor forgetting your lines

You were a star when you started

So bright eyed and ready but now you just can’t seem to shine

Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time

But can you still remember your very first kiss

Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?

Stay young, stay young

There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame

You can never out-run them

They’re part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can’t change

Stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews

Yeah it’s hard not to end up a cynic

When everyone’s too scared to walk in your shoes

But can work up the nerve to be critics

Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss

Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?

Stay young, stay young — no, don’t lose you heart

Don’t lose your soul.

Don’t give up control

It’s the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black

Useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues

Stay young, stay young!

Oh can you still remember your very first kiss

Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids

Trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world?

Stay young, stay young, stay young
