Youth Is Wasted On The Young

Youth Is Wasted On The Young - Augustana

Saw my reflection in the mirror

Didn't recognize myself

I felt more distant and more useless

The dust upon the shelf

I tried to fix it but I only ended up

Hurting someone else

Oh lover can you hear me

I'm so scared and I need a little help

I've built so many bridges

Then I sat and watched them burn

I had so many chances

Never took the time to learn

If I could change the past

Go back erase what I had done

I'd redo everything

Youth is wasted on the young

Yeah you gotta crawl before you walk

Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk

You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on the young

Youth is wasted on the young

Even the thought of me

Without you sends a shiver down my spine

I'd spend a lifetime on my knees

For just the chance to keep you mine

And like a rocket I shot up

And then I crashed and burned

I put the pieces back together

As the seasons turned

If I could change the past

Go back erase what I had done

Redo most everything

Youth is wasted on the young

Yeah you gotta crawl before you walk

Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk

You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on the young

Youth is wasted on the young

Wasted on the young

Youth is wasted on the young

Wasted on the young

Yeah you gotta crawl before you walk

Sometimes you gotta scream before you talk

You can't take back everything you've done

Youth is wasted on the young
