Verse 1
Amen, I said from the third row.
Off to bed by 10, its all that I know.
And Im too young to die, yet too old to cry thats what Im told.
Im too young to think that there might not be a tomorrow.
Chorus
Im buying my time for now, cuz it dont cost much.
But Im losing my sense of how long I have left.
When were young, when were young we know not.
Verse 2
Wear your coat, she said, dont want you to freeze.
I know. I said because Im smart as can be.
But I leave it at home so I can prove Im not weak.
And nothing that bad could ever happen to me.
Chorus
Im buying my time for now, cuz it dont cost much.
But Im losing my sense of how long I have left.
When were young, when were young we know not.
Bridge
And if this is a dream
I dont want to wake up, dont want to put on make up, dont want to face the liars,
corruption of the mind that happens over time cuz everybodys chasing something that we wasted.
Chorus
Im buying my time for now, cuz it dont cost much.
But Im losing my sense of how long I have left.
When were young, when were young we know not.
