Only the young (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young Only the young (Only the young) (Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time Up there's the finish line) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young Can run
Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time (Can run) Up there's the finish line So run, and run, and run Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time (So run) Up there's the finish line And run, and run, and run
Only the young Only the young Only the young
We were standing in an empty room The moonlight was falling You were holding my hand When the car pulled up for you And I could have spent a life with you But those days were over You were calling my name when your face Faded from view
And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day And wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake? And stars collide and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night?
I remember waking up with you The days doing nothing You meant more to me then than I think you ever knew. But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star A poet at a nobel seminar I hope the world never tore that out of you
Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun Would always chase the day Yeah wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake? And stars collide and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night?
And what ever happened to the things you loved And the songs we played, and the indian days Whatever happened to the things you gave away? Like harold and maude singing
I was waving as you drove away The sunlight was falling You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane
Angels fly in the air tonight Or was it just like those promises that you made And stars collide and the air's alive Or was it just like those promises that you made On our last night? On our last night?
I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one hand feel on the steering wheel the other on my heart I look around turn the radio down he says "baby, is something wrong?"
I say nothin' I was just thinkin' how we don't have a song and he says:
Our song is the slammin' screen door sneakin' out late tappin' on your window when we're on the phone and you talk real slow cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh, the first date, man, I didn't kiss her and I should have and when I got home Before I said amen askin' God if He could play it again
I was walkin' up the front porch steps after everything that day had gone all wrong had been trampled on and lost and thrown away got to the hallway well on my way to my lovin' bed I almost didn't notice all the roses and the note that said:
Our song is the slammin' screen door sneakin' out late tappin' on your window when we're on the phone and you talk real slow cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh, the first date, man, I didn't kiss her and I should have and when I got home Before I said amen askin' God if He could play it again
I've heard every album, listen to the radio, waitin' for something to come along that was as good as our song
(slower) 'Cause our song is the slammin' screen door sneakin' out late tappin' on his window when we're on the phone and he talks real slow cause it's late and his mama don't know Our song is the way he laughs, the first date, man, I didn't kiss him and I should have and when I got home Before I said amen askin' God if He could play it again
play it again
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin and I wrote down our song
Elevator buttons and morning air, Stranger silence makes me wanna take the stairs. If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares, But right now my time is theirs. Seems like there's always someone who disapproves. They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do. The jury's out, my choice is you.
(Chorus) So don't you worry your pretty little mind, People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours.
You never know what people have up their sleeves, Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me. Lurking in the shadows with their lipgloss smiles, But I don't care. Cause right now you're mine. And you'll say,
(Chorus) So don't you worry your pretty little mind, People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours.
And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong And your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in. I'll fight their doubts and give you faith with this song for you
Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak. And any snide remarks from my father About your tattoos will be ignored Cause my heart is yours
So don't you worry your pretty little mind, People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind, People throw rocks at things that shine But they can't take what's ours They can't take what's ours The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours.
Looking at it now, it all seemed so simple We were lying on your couch I remember
You took a Polaroid of us, then discovered The rest of the world was black and white But we were in screaming color And I remember thinking
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods?
Looking at it now, last December We were built to fall apart Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck The night we couldn't quite forget When we decided, we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance Baby, like we stood a chance Two paper airplanes flying, flying And I remember thinking
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods?
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon Twenty stitches in a hospital room When you started crying Baby, I did too But when the sun came up I was looking at you Remember when we couldn't take the heat I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free" But the monsters turned out to be just trees When the sun came up You were looking at me
You were looking at me, oh You were looking at me
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods? I remember
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good Oh, I remember
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good
Our coming-of-age has come and gone Suddenly this summer, it's clear I never had the courage of my convictions As long as danger is near And it's just around the corner, darlin' 'Cause it lives in me No, I could never give you peace
But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm If your cascade, ocean wave blues come All these people think love's for show But I would die for you in secret The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Your integrity makes me seem small You paint dreamscapes on the wall I talk shit with my friends It's like I'm wasting your honor And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences Sit with you in the trenches Give you my wild, give you a child Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other Family that I chose Now that I see your brother as my brother Is it enough? But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best But the rain is always gonna come if you're standin' with me
But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm If your cascade, ocean wave blues come All these people think love's for show But I would die for you in secret The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me Would it be enough if I could never give you peace? Would it be enough if I could never give you peace? Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
If you love me then I love you Swear by the freckles on the moon And maybe this will be enough I'd like to keep you till I'm old But if I can't at least I know That baby, perfect have I loved
Do you remember the stupid things we used to do Before September stole me away from you The time we got your truck stuck in the creek ‘Cause baby, roads weren't wild enough for you and me
If you love me then I love you Swear by the freckles on the moon And maybe this will be enough I'd like to keep you till I'm old But if I can't at least I know That baby, perfect have I loved
I can still see it That little bridge we used to cross I finally made it Trying to get lost You would smile that smile and I'd try so hard to forget ‘Cause of all the little fires that I haven't put out yet If you love me then I love you Swear by the freckles on the moon And maybe this will be enough I'd like to keep you till I'm old But if I can't at least I know That baby, perfect have I loved
Love was all we ever knew And faith was growing on the vine Words were all we had And one summer you were mine
If you love me then I love you Swear by the freckles on the moon And maybe this will be enough I'd like to keep you till I'm old But if I can't at least I know That baby, perfect have I loved
I know he loved you A long time ago I ain't jealous of you Just thought you should know You were never good enough for him or anything like me So you might as well sit back Cause I ain't trying to show maturity
X is the shape I drew through your face In permanent marker, oh yeah Just like the mark you knew you were making Who do you think you are? To write on his heart in permanent marker
So I found that picture Of you in that green dress Sure had a good time Cleaning up that mess He found thirty other pieces but he'll never find them all Tried to tape them back together Now he knows to keep it off the wall
X is the shape I drew through your face In permanent marker, oh yeah Just like the mark you knew you were making Who do you think you are? To write on his heart in permanent marker
Well I don't appreciate you calling him to reminisce The only reason is you're seeing Just how much better off he is
X is the shape I drew through your face In permanent marker, oh yeah Just like the mark you knew you were making Who do you think you are? To write on his heart in permanent marker
State the obvious I didn't get my perfect fantasy I realized you love yourself More than you could ever love me So go and tell your friends That I'm obsessive and crazy That's fine, you won't mind if I say By the way
I hate that stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreak Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned You're just another picture to burn
There's no time for tears I'm just sittin' here, plannin' my revenge There's nothing stopping me From goin' out with all of your best friends And if you come around sayin' sorry to me My daddy's gonna show you How sorry you'll be
'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreak Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned You're just another picture to burn
And if you're missin' me You better keep it to yourself 'Cause comin' back around here Would be bad for your health
'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreak Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time In case you haven't heard
I really, really hate That stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreak Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned You're just another picture to burn Burn, burn, burn Baby, burn Just another picture to burn Baby, burn
Time is passing slowly for the eight year old next door But mama's watch is ticking off the wall Jillian and Bobby think that they're a perfect pair But girls could say he's just a bit too tall
You don't have to do to win big You just have to think it Some folks say the glass is half full Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener And the other side ain't far away But I say the old could be newer And love still counts when it doesn't stay Some say I love you Some say love needs proof It's all in your point of view
He hated pink so she threw out her favorite clothes His NFL was turned to TLC Baby's got an attitude and thinks they just don't know But they all do and wish that she could see
You don't have to do to win big You just have to think it Some folks say the glass is half full Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener And the other side ain't far away But I say the old could be newer And love still counts when it doesn't stay Some say I love you Some say love needs proof It's all in your point of view
In the least or masterpiece Depends on one's opinion Worst of all they never call But don't think that they weren't wishing
Some say the grass could be greener And the other side ain't far away But I say the old could be newer And love still counts when it doesn't stay Some say I love you Some say love needs proof It's all in your point of view
It's all in your point of view Point of view It's all in your point of view
