Young Men

(앨범: Highways & Hurricanes - 2023)

We never learned how to slow down
Like all the boys in my hometown
We grew up on a calm down
And we drank cheap cider at high tide
But he moved on to the White line
Using up all of his life lines

Picking fights, broken bones
Never show he won't let it out, now
Cause some cuts are too deep
It's too big, it's too heavy now

We hide behind a fake smile and cheap thrills
We are terrified to talk about ourselves
Cause we don't want to be the one percent
But we're not built to last, we're just young men
Don't tell me he had too much to lose
Don't tell me he was taken way too soon
Cause we don't want to be the one percent
But we're not built to last, we're just young men

Oh we're just young men

He lived Friday night for his brothers
But he threw fists with his father
Guess he conquered his fear of the water

Picking fights, broken bones
Never show he won't let it out, now
Cause some cuts are too deep
Are too big, are too heavy now

We hide behind a fake smile and cheap thrills
We are terrified to talk about ourselves
Cause we don't want to be the one percent
But we're not built to last, we're just young men
Don't tell me he had too much to lose
Don't tell me he was taken way too soon
Cause we don't want to be the one percent
But we're not built to last, we're just young men

Oh we're just young men
We're just young men
Yeah we're just young men
