The Other Option

(альбом: Saint Of The Lost Souls - 2017)

I was a kiddie in a candy store
Saved up my pennies and I hid them all away
And whiled away hours
To be a grown-up looked so wonderful
And even older children seemed to be so cool
Their hands on the steering wheel

If youth is wasted on the young
Well then age is just exhausted by the aged

I don't care for getting older but it's
Better than the other option
It's much better than the other option
I don't care for getting older but it's
Better than the other option
So much better than the other option

I always thought that I was killing time
Until one day epiphany just hit me no!
The opposite is paradigm
And all the years I wasted in my head
Waiting for life to happen while those seconds sped
Now I chase every one 'til I'm dead

Yeah youth is wasted on the young
And now I'd like to register dissatisfaction

I don't care for getting older but it's
Better than the other option
It's much better than the other option
I don't care for getting older but it's
Better than the other option
So much better than the other option

And you can't tell 'em and I know why
And you can't tell 'em, don't you try
It's plain to see when all is said and done
'Cause nobody could tell me when I was young

I don't care for getting older but it's
Better than the other option
It's much better than the other option
I don't care for getting older but it's
Better than the other option
So much better than the other option

Oh whoahoh... Better than the other
Oh whoahoh... Better than the other
Oh whoahoh... Better than the other
