Youth (Revived) Lyrics

Youth is a weird thing, youth is a weird time

It's where all our dreams seem to come alive

The only problems then were growing up to be

Living up to expectations

Tell me I'm not the only one

Who had those dreams like

I'm gonna be an astronaut, or I'm gonna be a scientist

Or I'm gonna be something, something to somebody

I wanna be famous or I wanna be a star

Or I wanna be something, something in somebody's eyes

I wanna be

Yeah

I'm gonna be

Mm

Standing tall

I'm gonna be

Yeah

I wanna be

Mm

Something other than me

Youth is a weird thing, such a crazy time

The wheelie seats, the dodgeball games, running around the block

Sitting alone, home all alone, nothing but party time

The only expectation then was to live your life

Make all the friends, do all the things that all the kids did

Say, I wanna be a sports star, and I wanna have it all

I wanna be, ooh, I wanna be

I wanna be an actress, or I wanna be a singer

Or I wanna be center stage spotlight living everybody's dream

I wanna be a winner

I wanna do it all

I wanna be something to show them all I'm somebody

I wanna be

Yeah

I'm gonna be

Mm

Standing tall

I'm gonna be

Yeah

I wanna be

Mm

Something other than me

Growing up isn't how we wanted it to be

Cause everything is not what it seems

When we were all younger it was all fun and games

Like we would have it all

But we don't have it all

No we don't have it all

We would be the people we all wanted to be

And we would own it all

I wanted to be a rockstar

I wanted to do it all

I wanted to be what they all wanted me to be

I wanted to be something, something in somebody's eyes

But now I wanna be just me
