I'm not afraid of getting older I'm one less day from dying young I see the light go past my shoulder I'm one less day from dying young I see my life like a train with a one-way track I've made mistakes, and I couldn't take 'em back And I've been runnin' 'round in circles 'til I'm dizzy, I can't lie But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survive I'm not afraid of getting older I'm one less day from dying young I see the light go past my shoulder I'm one less day from dying young ♪ And I've seen my friends fall away before their time And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right Someday I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight I'm not afraid of getting older I'm one less day from dying young I see the light go past my shoulder I'm one less day from dying young ♪ All my life I have been wandering Burning up my candle like my time just won't end And I'll keep burning 'til there's nothing left Praying that tomorrow I can do it all again And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again I'm not afraid of getting older I'm one less day from dying young I see the light go past my shoulder I'm one less day from dying young I'm one less day from dying young, hey! ♪ (I'm one less day from dying young) hey! ♪ (I'm one less day from dying young)
