Young Forever (A song for No-One) live

[Verse 1] Trying to write a song, For no-one, At least no-one I've ever met. It's for some other girl, Whose path still hasn't set. I'd like to tell her, Not to worry, I'm sure it'll be okay. She's got a lot going for her, Don't let that eternal optimism fade. There'll be dark days, Days she wants to cry and scream. Days she feels she's ugly and unwanted, No-one, That's why they make ice cream. Push away the self-loathing, The doubts that stop you dead, I know they leave you frozen on the track, But those voices, One day they'll fade. Lock them away in a tiny cell, With soundproofing, So you can't hear them, No-one, I mean no-one, Should ever release them. Move on, Don't let it depress you, Let the seasons change, But don't let it stress you. [Chorus] You're only young, Forever, Right now. You're only young, Forever, Right now [Verse 2] Too young for true love, But you're searching anyway, Looking for a spark to match with, Strike that match, Set the flame. Too young to know what you're looking for, Too young to know that you'll change, By graduation, You'll be a different person, The ones who fail to grow, You'll know, Because they'll stay exactly, and predictably, The same. But you'll be the caterpillar, Who changed into a butterfly, You'll settle on the flowers, A pretty contrast, But butterflies only live, Two to four weeks, Or maybe a year. [Chorus] You're only young, Forever, Right now. You're only young, Forever, Right now [Verse] Too young for acting like you're old, You need to embrace the moment, The boomers say it goes by so fast. Maybe they are right though, About this thing, Because nothing these days is built, Forever, It's never made with the intention that it will last. Like a love potion, Once put in motion, It evaporates with the first kiss, But you're too young to know, The rest is up to chance. [Chorus] You're only young, Forever, Right now. You're only young, Forever, Right now [Bridge] Don't hesitate, To make your friendship bracelets, Take so many pictures, They are memories of your footfalls, On these cobbled paths. Be careful, When you're wearing high heels, 'Cause there are dangers here, Even if it looks so pretty, Under southern stars, Remember and be too young here, Before your life really starts. [Chorus] You're only young, Forever, Right now. You're only young, Forever, Right now. [Verse] Too young to have wisdom, Too young to realise you aren't wise, Those things come with time, When you learn from your mistakes, Mistakes you'll make is an inevitable, Unavoidable, Lesson written in the sand. But you're oh so young, So youstill don't understand. There's going to be tears, That tumble, Down your cheeks. Too young to know, no-one, that shedding them, Is like shedding skin, You grow out of them to get better, Grow out of the shell, You've been evolving in. Too young to know that to lose, Is how you eventually win.. [Chorus] You're only young, Forever, Right now. You're only young, Forever, Right now
