{Verse 1}
The days become long and I stay in bed
I'm just a ticking time bomb right inside my head
I'm only 21 but I'm nearly dead
Cos' every day is the same
It's how we're born and bred
{Pre-Chorus}
But they're singing and dancing
They don't know time
But I don't take any chances
I live inside but I can't help it
I live for the midday light
But then you woke me
And pulled me into moonlit night
{Chorus}
I said you (Hey!)
You make me wanna be young
Forever played
Forever sung
I said you (Hey!)
You're on the tip of my tongue
You make me wanna be restless
You make me wanna be hopeless
I wanna be young
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be young
{Verse 2}
The echo of night melts away to day
While the sun it burns bright on the concrete grey
See everything's changed and its worlds away
Now the bouncers blow bubbles
Throwing smiles your way
{Pre-Chorus}
But they're singing and dancing
They don't know time
But I don't take any chances
I live inside but I can't help it
I live for the midday light
But then you woke me
And pulled me into moonlit night
{Chorus}
I said you (Hey!)
You make me wanna be young
Forever played
Forever sung
I said you (Hey!)
You're on the tip of my tongue
You make me wanna be restless
You make me wanna be hopeless
I wanna be young
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be young
{Chorus}
I said you (Hey!)
You make me wanna be young
Forever played
Forever sung
I said you (Hey!)
You're on the tip of my tongue
You make me wanna be restless
You make me wanna be hopeless
I wanna be young
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be young
