Young Again Lyrics - Phoenix - The Classic Crime

We never get it on the first time 

We never get it right 

So we wander through the desert under cover of night 

Looking for a fire that can bring us to life 

seen a lot of bad in a short time, 

so weve lived in spite 

yeah, we boarded all the doors to the good outside 

but you only get as old as the callous on your soul, your soul 

and if you let the darkness grow, 

you will get hungry for more 

until it consumes all 

Oh, to be young again 

To be confident and charming and believe it never ends 

Oh, to be young again 

I want to feel like I am closer to the start than to the end 

Ive been walking on a fine line 

Between wrong and right 

And its taken me to places I knew better to go 

Put on a lot of faces at the theatre shows 

Behind the curtain I am not a nice guy 

I live with spite 

And my bitterness compounded by the kids in the crowd 

So innocent and open as they sing it out loud 

as old as the callous on your soul, your soul 

and if you let the darkness grow, 

you will get hungry for more 

until it consumes all 

Oh, to be young again 

To be confident and charming and believe it never ends 

Oh, to be young again 

I want to feel like I am closer to the start than to the end 

Theres nothing you can do to stop from aging 

All you have is this day 

Every thought is a blessing 

Every breath that you take 

Everything outside of right now is illusory 

Its not real 

The past, the future, they dont exist. 

All you have is now 

Is this enough for you? 

Oh, to be young again 

To be confident and charming and believe it never ends 

Oh, to be young again 

I want to feel like I am closer to the start than to the end
