Young Forever

Track List

1. Back to the Start-:--

   I’m looking back at my life until now
   Seems like I’ve never begun
   I’ve done it all, the rise and the fall
   Somehow, I’m not satisfied
   There’s a new chapter that’s been waiting around
   Feels like I’m already in it
   I’ll keep to myself where nobody else
   Will know where I’m going to be

   There is a place where I won’t be a stranger
   I gotta go right now
   Nothing to do
   What happened to you?
   I know that I want to go back

   I never really found my place in this world
   I’m like a traveling circus
   Lost in a zoo
   Some people are cruel
   I know I won’t be like them
2. In Between the Highs and Lows-:--

   Sometimes I don’t know why
   Out on the pier I try
   Thoughts I can recollect
   The tide is at a high
   Wait till the next wave hits
   Down like a sinking ship
   Come here and take my hand
   I’ll take you back to land

   Amo este voi
   Amo este voi

   I can’t say it in your language
   Don’t want to let you go
   Been through the fears and anguish
   In between the highs and lows
   I’m always there for you
   When you no longer care
   Baby, we’ll see this through
   From Paris to Brussels

   In between the highs and lows
   Our only place to go
3. Young Forever-:--

   Young heart better find your place in life
   Don’t do it like your parents did
   Will you give in by the time you’re 25?
   Still going not feeling alive
   Spray painting walls at 2:00 am
   We were local heroes for the night
   Then the cops showed up and saw our dirty hands
   Exposing us with a flashlight

   As we slowly drift apart
   We keep pacing back to the start?
   We keep questioning ourselves
   “Are we gonna be young forever?”

   Drank from the contaminated fountain of youth
   then I saw the truth
   35 years brought me to this grey cement
   Wondering where the time went?

   I don’t ever wanna be this way
   I’m gonna seize them all, gonna seize the days
   Never gonna grow out of any phase
   Cause Punk Rock has nothing to do with age

   As we slowly drift apart
   We keep pacing back to the start?
   We keep questioning ourselves
   “Are we gonna be young forever?”
   Simple times and simple minds
   In search of something we may never find
   We keep questioning ourselves
   “Are we gonna be young forever?
4. Here with Me-:--

   Take a look in your heart
   Is there somebody missing?
   We were doomed from the start
   Like a drug filled addiction

   Our love is a fight
   We can’t sleep at night
   How better the view
   Right here with you

   On the beach holding hands
   Are we losing direction?
   Get rid of the man
   Who tried to grab your attention

   He’ll never know the way that you glow
   Do you want be right here with me?
5. Leopard-:--

   In a different world I was a leopard and you a hyena
   Staring from a mountain top at the world
   Find ourselves a shelter, get up when it’s time to go
   I wanna be your dirty sound coming from the radio
   run that frequency straight into the ground

   Don’t go
   Don’t go
   This is where we belong
   Don’t go, just stay with me
   We’ll rule the world

   In a different world we could be lovers away from the others
   Two wild cats on the prowl and all alone
   You could be a jaguar or some kind of movie star
   I wanna be your Johnny Marr coming out the radio
   playing the electric guitar

   It’s safe to breathe on our brave new planet
   And we’ll never leave this world is yours and mine

   In a different life you were a Leopard and I was young
   No one in the world could tell us who to be
   We can make our own history
   Together we can set ourselves free
6. Santa Monica Pier-:--

   Life is so small when you’re stuck at the top
   High on the Ferris wheel, gazing from the dark Pacific Park
   Big waves look at the falcons in the sky
   If it’s a dream then let’s be sure not to open our eyes

   Stay, you wouldn’t mind on the loneliest ride
   Down along Santa Monica Pier

   Footprints don’t stay forever in the sand
   Yea, we’ll go hand in hand
   Two birds drifting away like a day
   This is the rollercoaster of our lives
   Sun-rays reflecting on the ocean
   Savoring our goodbyes

   Stay, you wouldn’t mind on the loneliest ride
   Down along Santa Monica Pier
   It’s a strange kind of life on the loneliest ride
   Down along Santa Monica Pier
7. Boy with Glasses-:--

   We met in the ninth grade, first day of school
   Boy with glasses teach me the rules
   Came over to my house and stole some CDs
   The first Mother Love Bone and Nirvana’s “Bleach”

   I’m sorry that I’ve been away
   It’s too late for me to turn back
   I can only remember the face of a distant memory
   Boy with glasses
   Boy with glasses

   In the boy-scouts I heard guitar noise from a room
   I asked him to find out who played the tune
   Metal Popeye were jamming but it wasn’t them
   He said “it was Pixies” and away he went home

   I’m sorry that I’ve been away
   It’s too late for me to turn back
   I can only remember the face of a distant memory
   Boy with glasses
   Boy with glasses

   Saturday morning
   24 years on
   I remember the good times, the bad ones I’ve shunned
   Two years late from a post I just read
   To see how you were doing and find out you were dead
8. Pessemistic Heart-:--

   I got this new obsession in my head
   The one that keeps me up at night I’ll never go to bed
   I’ll start the day without you when I’m home
   Listening to The Zombies “Odyssey and Oracle”
   And I’ll say…

   Fuck off to all these insecurities
   I’ll find new love in endless opportunities
   The days go by but I’m not getting younger
   So, I better start to live again right now

   It’s hard to see the light when it’s all dark
   Or be an optimistic with a pessimistic heart
   I’ll gather all the pieces when you go and
   leave you with a mix of Missing Persons and The Smoking Popes

   The more I try to let it go
   The people who I’ve never known
   Are showing signs of pulling me right back into place
   Oh, apathy has dawned on me
   Someone that I may never be
   The years I have in front of me
   Like a tape I’m wearing thin
   Now’s the time and I’ll say…
9. Go-:--

   Bed on the moon
   I can float where you are
   I’m a bear in a suit
   You are one falling star
   Space
   We are free
   Nothing pulls us apart
   We define gravity
   In the way that we are
   Free as a bird
   Your wings are all grown
   Don’t be afraid to fly
   Don’t be afraid to know
   Cut through the skies
   Leave the past behind
   Don’t be afraid to try
   Don’t be afraid to go
10. Across the Sea-:--

    Sing it with a little heart
    Hurry up and catch a wave
    Finish what you never start if it’s hard to erase
    On a mountain, a view or a man on the moon
    And I don’t want to feel like a fool
    Baby, let’s go paint the town
    Spray paint on each other’s walls
    We could be who we want
    For a night and always
    It’s hard when you bend to the rules that you hate
    She’s the wolf
    You’re a fish in a pond

    Yea, we’re gonna miss the boat
    The one that leaves at 9:00 am
    Maybe with a little hope
    I can make it
    I can make it
    Then we’ll be
    Just you and me
    Then we’ll be
    Across the sea

    You’re so beautiful when you are with me
    And I know exactly where you could be
    Pack a shirt and run away now with me
    You and me across the sea
