lyrics

Lift me up
I’ve fallen down, down, down
Farther than I’ve ever been

Let’s get lost
I need to leave this town
Bags are packed, just say when

I’ve gotten old
It’s happened just now
My stories told
Can’t remember how
But I’ve got this one thing I need

Tap a vein, watch me bleed

My bones creak and my muscles ache
But here I rise, wide awake
I swear my soul is yours to take
But you hand it back without a break

You make me young, you make me young

Clear my head
Remove the haze, haze, haze
Part the clouds, lift the fog

Starting fresh
The past was just a phase
Avoid the crowds, hair of the dog

I’ve gotten old
It happened just now
Been bought and sold
Can’t remember how
But you’ve got this one thing I need

Tap a vein, watch me feed

My bones creak and my muscles ache
But here I rise, wide awake
I swear my soul is yours to take
But you hand it back without a break

Take my hand, pull my weight
I’ll follow you to heaven’s gate
Read my palm and give it straight
It’s not too late to seal my fate

You make me young, you make me young
