Been down that same old road
Too many times not to turn
Been reading those same old manuals
To know when the lesson's learned
I've been through this so many times
Still I can't get it 'round my head
Once it's over I feel it all
And it's too late to retrieve what's dead
I stand in awe of time
I can't bring it back
The good ones used to die young
Now they all just leave town
It's still a sad thing
But they can always come back
And I could follow them
But I probably won't
The big empty beyond
Scares and lures me
The stars way up above
Laugh and curse me
The safe haven is a lonely place
Where very few are allowed in
The ones I trust have a bigger lust
To find a new way to begin
I stand in awe of time
I can't bring it back
The good ones used to die young
Now they all just leave town
It's still a sad thing
But they can always come back
And I could follow them
But I probably won't
Yeah!
The good ones used to die young
Now they all just leave town
I stand in awe of time
I can't bring it back
The good ones used to die young
Now they all just leave town
It's still a sad thing
But they can always come back
And I could follow them
The good ones used to die young
Now they all just leave town
It's still a sad thing
(It's still a sad thing)
But they can always come back
And I could follow them
(Follow them)
(They can always come back and I could)
Follow them
(Follow them)
But I probably won't
