I Was Young I Was Old

[Verse 1]
I was young, I was old, I was seventeen
I was surrounded by all the things I feared
You were right, I was wrong, I was never seen
You were the prodigal child, you were the factual queen
Every time
Every time

[Verse 2]
You found your skin on your shelf next to all your books
As if you wrote them with every word you could
Love is gone, love is here, love is on its own
You were my favorite song, you were my favorite show
Every time
Every time

[Chorus]
So wait
I will waste up all my days just to keep you home
Your memory haunts me in the night
Like some villainous ghost
And you captured all the rain, saved it all for your own
I would walk you straight back home
But I'm far too cold

[Verse 4]
I was young, I was old, I was finally clean
You were the martyr that finally helped me see
The dirty air in the room makes it hard to sing
I feel it come when I sleep, I feel it come when I dream
Every time
Every time

[Chorus]
Oh, so wait
I will waste up all my days just to keep you home
Your memory haunts me in the night
Like some villainous ghost
And you captured all the rain, saved it all for your own
I would walk you straight back home
But I'm far too cold
Far too cold
