[Verse 1]

Yeah, I've been lookin' all around (Yeah)

Tryna figure out what the hell really counts

When everything feels like it's fillin' up with doubt

Thoughts headin' South and no-one can hear me shout

And the voices in my head, so loud

Calm before the storm like a Seattle cloud

The sky, so gray, tryna to figure it out

Why I'm so down in this sunlight drought

Yeah, memories comin' back to me

Of a simpler time when I was young and free

Playin' games with the kids lived next to me

Didn't care about time or anything, yeah

But things changed, turned twenty-three

Had to figure out what the hell was next for me

Do I do the safe thing? Something guaranteed?

Or do I do what I love 'til my fingers bleed? Yeah


[Chorus]

It'll all be okay, figure out my own way

But for now, here I lay and remember a day

When I was young, when I was young, yeah (Young)

(When I was young)

(Young, young, young, young, young, young)

(When I was young)

(When I was young)


[Verse 2]

Yeah, smoke stacks 'cause it's cold outside (Yeah)

Fire burnin' from the other night

I can smell the coals in my soul

It makes me feel something deep inside

Memories of a better life, memories where I felt alive

In these time you, can choose to survive

In these times you, could choose to thrive

And I wanna make somethin', take somethin'

Take control of my life and display somethin'

Show the world what I love and go play somethin'

Show the world what I love on a stage, strummin'

And I wanna make y'all feel the same

And I wanna take away all the pain

At least for a minute while I play

I wanna make you feel okay


[Chorus]

It'll all be okay, figure out my own way

But for now, here I lay and remember a day

When I was young, when I was young, yeah (Young)
