Youth

I spend my days
Looking out the window,
And spend my nights
Dreaming of the sun.
But one day I'll turn
Into a raging river,
And break the ties
That hold me down.

I saw myself
As a reflection in the water
He pulled me in
But I fought his arms away,
So steal my thoughts
And I'll stay until the morning
When the day returns
Then I'll be on my way.

But they're slipping through my fingers, darling,
All the moments that I fought so hard to save,
Are slipping through my fingers, darling, dear.

They're slipping through my fingers, darling,
All the moments that I fought so hard to save,
Are slipping through my fingers, darling, dear.
