november 19th Lyrics

In fifty years, in sixty years

When I'll be old and grey

When I'll have walked the path I searched for

When I'll have lived my days

Will I be washed out by life?

Or will I still hold my flame?

I hope I'll still be burning bright

But my life'll be done, in any way

Will I look back to what I did?

Will I listen to the songs I made

To the songs I sang, to the songs like this

To the fiery songs from when I was nineteen

The songs I made when my rage and my yearning

Made me stay awake until late in the morning

Writing, just another song or two

Screaming my breathing in my tiny little room

In fifty years, what will I do?

What will I think? What will I be?

Fifty years can change a world

What about a little human like me?

In 2060, will I look back

To my shining years, to the 2020s

When I was just a lonely kid

But a fiery, burning kid

When I was at the beginning of the road that I would trace

Shouting my yearning for my dream into my days

Doing all I could to become what I believed in

Writing all my songs as I was writing my story

Wondering at times if I would listen to them

Decades down the line, when I'd be old and grey

Thinking 'bout the times when I couldn't see myself

Ever becoming like that, wondering if I'd be dead already

But I don't want to die

But I don't want to lose my flame

But I don't want to die

But I don't want to lose my passion

And my beautiful burning light

But I'd rather explode young

While I'm still burning bright

But I don't want to die still

But I don't want to die

And I'm twenty, I'm twenty

Just a kid, with more rage and more yearning

Than this beautiful world could ever hold

I'm a kid, with my rage and my bright dream

And this beautiful life in front of me

That I'll light up like fire, I'm gasoline

Rapping on the fire crackling

I'm frightened but I won't waste my chance anymore

I'll soar higher than everything I've ever wished

I'll burn brighter than everything I've ever dreamed

When my time comes I'll shatter in heaven's breeze

Be more beautiful than everything I've ever seen

Into fireworks, just before I disappear

To the blackness, gone for eternity

For ever, like the cold wind in my ears

In November, November nineteenth

Like right now, November nineteenth

Because everything will pass, but before that I'll live

And then I'll die, but I'll do everything

For my dream, and I won't ever give up

So it's all right, I guess, it'll all be

All right, I hope that I'll be

All right, November nineteenth

November nineteenth

November nineteenth
