Die Young

We thought there was enough time
We were fools from the start
Moths attracted to a fickle flame
We’re gonna die young

Beautiful tragedy, sweetest poison
Killing a piece of me every day
Forever’s too short for love
We’re gonna die young

Songs of the immortal swim in air
Plush promises soften all hearts
Listen for eternity’s empty boast
We’re gonna die young

Remember when we were carefree
Shooting holes in the night sky til it bled sunshine
The new day dawns upon a setting sun
We’re gonna die young

Peering into your piercing eyes
Tracing your palm with my fingertip
Clock’s hands mold wrinkles in time
We’re gonna die young

Hope doesn’t live in this space
You can tell by the void in this soul
The bond we share has to sustain us
The more we love, the more we lose control

Speeding through past lives
Slowing down to breathe in all of you
Exhaling reflections and introspections
Scenic routes of you on lazy Sundays

Through all the good times
Through all the years, old and gray
I wish we had even more days
We’re gonna die young
