L.F.D.Y.

Lyrics

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
