I looked up to everyone who knew who they'd like to be one day
Or really anything to carry the weight of loss on their shoulders
A perfect start is not the only thing that counts
The finish-line won't be for just the lucky ones
'Cause youth can make you carry the weight of life on your shoulders
If only i was young forever i would pull my act together
I could make this world my own
Make it but how
If only i was young forever i would pull my strength together
So that i could count the stars in nights unknown
I felt like a kid who wasn't sure how to create myself anew
To carry the weight of loss on my shoulders
I know that i got time to turn it all around
And someday i'll be sleeping safe and sound
'Cause memory can make you carry the weight of life on your shoulders
If only i was young forever i would pull my act together
I could make this world my own
Make it but how
If only i was young forever i would pull my strength together
So that i could count the stars in nights unknown
And i'm breathing in, i'm breathing out
My hourglass feels empty
It's been a while, more than a while
Since i was twenty
I'm getting up, not giving in
I live to learn and grow
It's been a while, but not yet time
To let it go
If only i was young forever i would pull my act together
I could make this world my own
Make it but how
If only i was young forever i would pull my strength together
So that i could count the stars in nights unknown
