Don't want a one-hit-wonder
I wanna live my life just like a song
So when I'm gone they are singing
A melody that stays forever young
I lay awake in my bed just freaking out
It's just a young man's dream, I tend to doubt
More than I hope, but something
Keeps me hanging on

So don't you dare blink
This life is shorter than you thought it was
Call me crazy but I think
We were made for so much more

When all I see are all the people
Trading in all their dreams for fears
And they make-believe
That they are happier here
Eventually we all look back at it
Wondering what might have been
If you could do it again, who would you be?
If this is just a young man's dream
Then keep me young forever

Don't wanna catch myself waiting
Around for something more, can't afford to waste
All my time, then your story
It's mine too many, you're just left on the sidelines

Don't you dare blink
This life is shorter than you thought it was
Call me crazy but I think
We were made for so much more

When all I see are all the people
Trading in all their dreams for fears
And they make-believe
That they are happier here
Eventually we all look back at it
Wondering what might have been
If you could do it again, who would you be?
If this is just a young man's dream
Then keep me young forever

Oh, tell me to keep it down
You're too loud, scream in a crowded room
Oh, drinking from your empty
What is it you're giving up?

When the clock counts to our last meeting
Won't catch me standing here
(Won't catch me standing here
Won't catch me standing here)

When all I see are all the people
Trading in all their dreams for fears
And they make-believe
That they are happier here
Eventually we all look back at it
Wondering what might have been
If you could do it again, who would you be?
If this is just a young man's dream
Then keep me young forever
