What Youth? Lyrics

We used to promise it wouldn't end like this

Falling into stories of when we were kids

We talked bout our fathers how they drank too much

We thought our parents problems would never come for us

And I don't get nostalgic I don't get said

I try to stay grateful for where I'm at

The memories come but they always pass

Yeah I won't look back

What youth used to be wish that we were living in the seventies

What youth these days can afford to dream what youth is there left in me

What youth have you had to trade never had a chance to even act our age

What youth is back at their parent's place they left us their debts to pay

Now I'm sleeping so badly and waking up too late

The bunk bed we donated but the posters never changed

It's easy to keep dreaming when you're too young to succeed

But life it ain't free no more

What youth used to be wish that we were living in the seventies

What youth these days can afford to dream what youth is there left in me

What youth have you had to trade never had a chance to even act our age

What youth is back at their parent's place they left us their debts to pay

Daniel's ok did you hear about the crash

Briana's been sober for a year and half and

Jordan went to law school like he always said

Alex and I don't talk much he and I we're best friends

Nicole just got married has a beautiful son

And I still dream of Mani sometimes when I'm alone

Schuyler's a friend now I just saw her last week

When did our youth become history

What youth used to be wish that we were living in the seventies

What youth these days can afford to dream what youth is there left in me

What youth have you had to trade never had a chance to even act our age

What youth is back at their parent's place they left us their debts to pay

And I don't get nostalgic I don't get said

I try to stay grateful for where I'm at

The memories come but they always pass

Yeah I won't look back
