Paper Aeroplanes - Not As Old lyrics

Saw your picture, by the mirror Your eyes were brighter from far away, you said Since you joined this city circus You lost your purpose and wilder ways but they're still Underneath the surface, down beneath the dust And there lies all that you've lost You're not as old as you think You're not as frayed at the seams It's not as hard to be perfect As you've been led to believe Not just imaginary people Living love songs and dreams So lean into the moment and capture the scene You're not as old as you think Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it Magazine says, your life iss wasted But you can save it with beauty creams, they don't know These lines and spaces, across our faces are Maps and memories of where we've been Don't let them prey upon you, don't believe the hype Don't let it weigh on your mind You're not as old as you think You're not as frayed at the seams It's not as hard to be perfect As you've been led to believe Not just imaginary people Living love songs and dreams So lean into the moment and capture the scene You're not as old as you think Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it You've got a body of its own design You're not a number in a chorus line You're out of rhythm but you still have some time You're not as old as you think You're not as frayed at the seams It's not as hard to be perfect As you've been led to believe Not just imaginary people Living love songs and dreams So lean into the moment and capture the scene You're not as old as you think Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it To realize it Not as old as you think, so don't let it take a lifetime
