to be young

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're moving away and into your own place Too many strange faces is an unfamiliar space And you're not always going to be happy Everything is not always gonna go right But remember to go through life lightly Spread love and surround yourself with happiness These are supposed to be the best years of your life But even if they aren't, it's alright [Pre-Chorus] Don't put pressure on yourself to be the best You've always been enough You're sacred, even if you have no one Don't give yourself up for love [Chorus] It's alright to be dumb and make mistakes Having bad ideas and making wrong choices You can risk it all and give it all it takes To make your dreams come true Because you only live once And once you've grown up You'll only have your memories Of what it was like to be young [Verse 2] School isn't everything It's a stepping stone to success If it becomes too much Take a step back And I'm so proud you're still alive It's all that matters So give it all up if it's what's best Because I only want your best [Pre-Chorus] Don't wish for it to go by faster Cherish every moment while it lasts Take it all in slowly Remember the lights and the colors It's never gonna look like this again [Chorus] It's alright to be dumb and make mistakes Having bad ideas and making wrong choices You can risk it all and give it all it takes To make your dreams come true Because you only live once And once you've grown up You'll only have your memories Of what it was like to be young [Bridge] You grew so fast Only the memories last Sure, when you were little Everything was so simple But now you're free to make your own choices Defy all the expectations your parents set Don't worry about reaching all your goals Because your best years aren't over yet [Outro] Remember to always have fun Because once you've grown up You'll only have your memories Of what it was like to be young
