HEART OF THE YOUNG

I remember this boy in my head

Making forts in the sheets of his bed

Turning all of the blankets and pillows

Into planets and spaceships

I imagine the smile on his face

As he floated away into space

And I think about how I've been living

Missing all of those feelings

So what if I, what if I still long

For a time, for a time long gone

Back when I, back when I still thought I could fly?

They say dreams can die and life is war but we got love

Keep the past alive; it's in our souls, it's in our blood

And it's worth the pain not to hide away every memory one by one

They say dreams can die but we can't hide, no, we can't hide

The heart of the young

I remember the air was so thin

Only way left to breathe was to give in

I was drowning inside

And the water never really receded

So what if I, what if I still long

For a time, for a time long gone

Back when I, back when I still thought I could fly?

They say dreams can die and life is war but we got love

Keep the past alive; it's in our souls, it's in our blood

And it's worth the pain not to hide away every memory one by one

They say dreams can die but we can't hide, no, we can't hide

The heart of the young

Take me, take me back in time

I need to learn to fly

Take me, take me back in time

I need the strength to fight

They say dreams can die and life is war but we got love

Keep the past alive; it's in our souls, it's in our blood

And it's worth the pain not to hide away every memory one by one

They say dreams can die but we can't hide, no, we can't hide

The heart of the young
