dreamy secret garden fairy tail 70s old house jungle chic.
[Verse 1]
I wanna say it like Simon would
'Cause I was listening this morning
On my own thinking if I could
I’d be Kathy and make this bus a greyhound
And this sun would always stay down
And there would be so much time for us
Time for us
[Pre-Chorus]
My hand's out, I wanna throw my cards now
Making your name our hometown
But all my trains are here
Please don't be worried
No doubt I’ll find you in our old crowd
So many things to say if you stay
[Chorus]
So stay young
I know that I'm talking too much
And I'll get nowhere tryna do it at once
But oh my God, I wanna be someone
So stay young
With me, 'cause I hope that it's you
That I'll break my back tryna run home to
Because oh my God, I want you to be the one
So stay young
[Verse 2]
I wanna say it like Simon would
I wanna make my mother feel things
I wanna have the marching band
But right now, it's just me and steel strings, lonely
So, when I miss you, it is slowly
'Cause I’m doing good here mostly on my own
Mostly on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
My hand’s out, I wanna throw my cards now
Making your name our hometown
But all my trains are here
Please don't be worried
No doubt I’ll find you in our old crowd
So many things to say if you stay
[Chorus]
So stay young
I know that I'm talking too much
And I'll get nowhere tryna do it at once
But oh my God, I wanna be someone
So stay young
With me, 'cause I hope that it’s you
That I'll break my back tryna run home to
Because oh my God, I want you to be the one
So, stay young
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-woah-oh
Oh, stay young
Oh, woah
(Stay young)
[Bridge]
And I promise I care
I know it's hard, know that I'm never there
But call me from the bathroom when you're low
We'll stay young until we wanna be old
Electric blankets so we're never cold
'Cause you have always been my ticket home
And we stayed young
[Chorus]
So stay young
I know that I'm talking too much
And I'll get nowhere tryna do it at once
But oh my God, I wanna be someone (Be someone)
So stay young
With me, 'cause I hope that it's you
That I'll break my back tryna run home to
Because oh my God, I want you to be the one, the one
So stay young
[Outro]
Oh-oh-woah-oh
Oh, stay young
Oh, woah
Oh, stay young
Oh-oh-woah-oh
(Stay young)
Oh, oh, oh
Just stay young
