Young Forever

[Verse 1]
I'm too young to be so cynical
But all these twenty-somethings are acting so typical
And now I'm just dying for it, the party to be over
'Cause it's hard getting everyone to like you when you're sober

[Pre-Chorus]
I still got a lot of shit that I haven't figured out
And if you don't want to come you don't have to be around
But I just wanna fly, higher than the sky
Baby, you and I

[Chorus]
But you and I, you and I
We could stay young like this forever
You and I, you and I
We ain't gotta search for nothing better

Woah, baby, it's you and I
Said you and I, you and I
We could stay young like this forever

[Post-Chorus]
We could stay young like
We could stay, we could stay young like
We could stay young like this forever
We could stay young like
We could stay, we could stay young like
We could stay young like this forever

[Verse 2]
Ain't it fun being twenty-one?
Feeling like you're always on the run
Do you wanna run away with me?
Away from all the superficial tendencies

They don't wanna listen to your conversations
They don't even know what you mean
They're the ones that always getting nervous
When you start talking about all your dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
I've still got a lot of shit that I haven't figured out
And if you don't want to, you don't have to be around
Mmm, no, no, no-o
I just want it to be you and me

[Chorus]
Said you and I, you and I
We could stay young like this forever
You and I, you and I
We ain't gotta search for nothing better

Woah, baby, it's you and I
Said you and I, you and I
We could stay young like this forever

[Post-Chorus]
We could stay young like this forever
We could stay young like
We could stay, we could stay young like
We could stay young like this forever

In the last two or three years, young people have been—and this especially applies to America—instead of just carrying on the way their parents told them to, they’ve started a big thing, where they’re anti-war and they love everybody and their... The kids are looking for something else, for some different moral values, because they know they’re gonna get all the things that were thought impossible fifty years ago. The whole sort of basis of society and values which were accepted could be changed, but it's up to them to carry on those ideals that they have, instead of just falling into the same old routine their parents have fallen into. So it's not until the people of twenty-one now reach the age of seventy-five—those kids actually have to be grandfathers before the whole thing is changed
