"amen" I said from the third row
Off to bed by 10, it's all that I know
And I'm too young to die, yet too old to cry that's what I'm told
I'm too young to think that there might not be a tomorrow

I'm buying my time for now, 'cuz it don't cost much
But I'm losing my sense of how long I have left
When were young, when we're young we know not

"wear your coat, " she said, "don't want you to freeze"
"I know. " I said because I'm smart as can be
But I leave it at home so I can prove I'm not weak
And nothing that bad could ever happen to me

I'm buying my time for now, cuz it don't cost much
But I'm losing my sense of how long I have left
When were young, when we're young we know not

And if this is a dream
I don't want to wake up
Don't want to put on make up
Don't want to face the liars
Corruption of the mind that happens over time
Cuz everybody's
Chasing something that we wasted

I'm buying my time for now, cuz it don't cost much
But I'm losing my sense of how long I have left
When were young, when we're young we know not
