[Verse 1]
"Nothing to lose" is a path you can choose
And it feels just right at the time
Then one day, you awake with a fear you can't shake
You're an actor forgetting your lines
You were a star when you started
So bright-eyed and ready
But now you just can't seem to shine
"Nothing to lose" is a path that you choose
And it feels just right at the time
[Chorus]
But can you still remember your very first kiss
Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young
[Verse 2]
There are constants
Like gravity, heartbreak, and shame
You can never outrun them
They're a part of your name
Like lessons you learn
From a past you can't change
Stay young, stay young
For a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews
Yeah, it's hard not to end up a cynic
When everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes
But can work up the nerve to be critics
[Chorus]
Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young
[Post-Chorus]
No, don't lose your heart
And don't lose your soul
Don't give up control
[Bridge]
It's the business end of a loaded gun
Facing tomorrows of black, useless lungs
With nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues
Stay young, stay young!
Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Trying to keep up our innocence
In this fucked-up world
Stay young, stay young, stay young
Stay young, stay young
[Outro]
"Nothing to lose" is a path that you choose
And it feels just right at the time
Then one day, you awake with a fear you can't shake
You're an actor forgetting your lines....
