Deep under the surface, I keep the love
Older and aware of head and universe
I pray to be young
And pray to be inspired
Words of your tongue blister like fire
I can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me

There is a glimpse of death in your eyes
I'm not prepared to let out those cries
Our plead to stay young soon will be expired
So lost in denial
I can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me

Reach in her world, sheltered from strife
Bearing the gifts, burdens of life
I pray to stay young, but soon will be expired
An age of innocence, long since gone
I can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me

Those who are looking backwards
Chose to leave as statues
Frozen
Fractured
Youthful laughter
Fades
I can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me

I can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
The dying days of my youth
Overtake me
