So I've been told, you'll never grow old
Or only as old as you're supposed to do
So while you're around, I find myself bound
to borrow as much as I can from you
If you find a new way, you really must say
I'll step out alone and be damned
Leave you to sleep, and prowling the streets
I'll find another home for all the permanence we planned
Back in the day, you used to say
We're only as old as we want to be
That was a lie, we're all gonna die
And the older we get it's more likely
Fortunately, you know it's not me
Who lives with their head in the sand
That's down to you, so all I can do
Is sing a little more until you finally understand
That when your phone stops ringing and nobody's singing
all the songs that you tore from your soul
And when the road stops weaving, and everyone's leaving
and your heart's not in it at all
And when the rats come running, the summer's stopped sunning
left your dreams spark out on the floor
Well there's a new life waiting, where nobody's hating
on the other side of the door
So flee and be free...
