Stay Young - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

"Nothing to lose" is a path you can choose

And it feels just right at the time

Then one day, you awake with a fear you can't shake

You're an actor forgetting your lines

You were a star when you started, so bright-eyed and ready

But now you just can't seem to shine

"Nothing to lose" is a path that you choose

And it feels just right at the time

But can you still remember your very first kiss

Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?

Stay young

There are constants like gravity, heartbreak, and shame

You can never outrun them, they're part of your name

Like lessons you learned from a past you can't change

Stay young, stay young

For a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews

Yeah, it's hard not to end up a cynic

When everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes

But can work up the nerve to be critics

Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss

Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?

Stay young

No, don't lose your heart

Don't lose your soul

Don't give up control

Oh, oh

It's the business end of a loaded gun

Facing tomorrows of black, useless lungs

With nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues

Stay young, stay young

Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss

Or the future you hoped for when we were still kids

Trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked-up world?

Stay young

Stay young, stay young

"Nothing to lose" is a path that you choose

And it feels just right at the time

Then one day, you awake with a fear you can't shake

You're an actor forgetting your lines
