You Stay Young

(album: Glory - 2023)

Wake up, sweating on the roof
A blood red sun
Grab your pants, tie your shoes
Do your buttons on the run
Run past the park
Where we played grounders in the dark
Past your old backyard
We would fight for Kayla's viscous heart
Through the woods, to the diamond
With them roman candles flying
To the tracks at the back
When blood and steel go colliding
Oh them crashing summer nights
Tattooed to them little lights
In the eyes of every man
They flicker on and off again

Look what you've done
Hey you proved me wrong
I get older and you stay young

Just like the turtles in your driveway
They just wake up
And start crawling to the river
Without thinking at all
Now I live with the questions
And I think too much
Sometimes in my sleep when I wake up
It feels like I took a punch
In a dream our house is falling
I'm across the road calling
Begging you to show your hand
It flickers on and off again

Look what you've done
Hey you proved me wrong
I get older and you stay young
My, my, look what you've done
Hey you proved me wrong
I got older and you stay young

Godspeed to the cool nights
And the silver moonlight
Every crack in a heart's got a name on it
Godspeed to the cool night
And to silver moonlight
Every crack in a heart's got a name on it
It's got your name on it

Look what you've done
Hey you proved me wrong
I got older and you stay young
My, my, look what you've done
Hey you proved me wrong
I got older and you stay young

In a dream our house is falling
I'm across the road and calling
In a dream our house is falling
I'm across the road and calling
In a dream our house is falling
I'm across the road and calling
