I am getting old
It's very unfamiliar
Youth is all I know
And play-dates with danger
Pat on the back for getting through that
Irony, imagine that

This is a common war
Timeless, universal
We just want more and more
And waste it all resisting
It's a sad fate to grow jaded
And it's a sad fate to be fading

I wanna stay naive
I wanna keep this short and sweet
That whole live fast, die young kind of thing

I'm not slowing down
Acceloexponential
Each second's shorter than the last
And each day shorter by the second
But the sky's still in the same place
And my feet still on the ground

Waiting patiently
Quiet desperation
It's all so alien to me
Cruel anticipation
But the sun's that same old white spot
Searing its name in my skin

I wanna stay naive
I wanna keep this short and sweet
That whole live fast, die young kind of thing

I don't remember ever feeling the world spinning
I guess I must be used to it by now
The plot's supposed to thicken while your hair is thinning
But I'm still offhandedly wasting the hours
And I'm pulling clumps of it out in the shower

I wanna stay naive
I wanna keep this short and sweet
That whole live fast, die young kind of thing
