Stay Young

(album: 143 - 2015)

[Leondre:]
Didn't think much of growing up, when I was young
I thought life was a playground, age was monkey bars
Swinging to each one, when you got to the end
You'd just fall off, then start again
Life would spin you around like a roundabout
Eating ice cream till all the ice cream's out
I wanna be like that, we should all be young
Instead of carrying the weight of the world
Play a game of tag or maybe football
Kiss chase with the ladies who were beautiful
And not a care in the world, but we love and care for our friends
When we play mum and dad, let the game never end
And when the game's over, let's play again
Play hide and seek, count to one hundred and ten
Life on this earth would never be the same
We wouldn't have to worry 'bout money, no money no pain

[Charlie:]
People say we act too young, but we know that we're just having fun
Ignoring all the wrongs of society, forget about the stress and anxiety
People say we need to act older, but with age the world only gets colder
Enjoy your life cause you only get one, why rush, we wanna stay young

What ya wanna do?
I wanna stay young
What ya wanna do?
I wanna stay young
What ya wanna do?
I wanna stay young
Stay young, stay young

[Leondre:]
The field's full of green, the sun is shining down
Full of kids in football kits, running around
Slide tackling each other just playing about
But we wouldn't get hurt so nobody would shout
But nowadays, there's no one in the park
Only teenagers sat in their rooms in the dark
Laying in their bed, rain outside
Storms are raging, lightning in the sky
When I was young I remember the skies blue
Now all I see in the world is people feeling blue
It's time to flip the world around, make it a better place
I don't want a world of strangers, snap back and take our place
It ain't right, we're missing out on so much
Back to when we used to play stuck in the mud
But hope ain't lost, I have you by my side
Let's make this life a crazy rollercoaster ride

[Charlie:]
People say we act too young, but we know that we're just having fun
Ignoring all the wrongs of society, forget about the stress and anxiety
People say we need to act older, but with age the world only gets colder
Enjoy your life cause you only get one, why rush, we wanna stay young

What ya wanna do?
I wanna stay young
What ya wanna do?
I wanna stay young
What ya wanna do?
I wanna stay young
Stay young, stay young

People say we act too young, but we know that we're just having fun
Ignoring all the wrongs of society, forget about the stress and anxiety
People say we need to act older, but with age the world only gets colder
Enjoy your life cause you only get one, why rush, we wanna stay young

People say we act too young
What ya wanna do?
Ignoring all the wrongs of society
What ya wanna do?
People say we need to act older
What ya wanna do?
Enjoy your life cause you only get one, why rush, we wanna stay young
