Youth Is Wasted on the Young

Lyrics

[Chorus: Sam Carter] The past is dead I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace The past is dead I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace [Verse 1: Sam Carter] If we stop the clock, will I reappear? Pulled from the drift, there goes another year The stars align, the planets shift All the infinite moments that we've missed There's parts of me that are lost forever At least we're all lost together We all remember youth like it's dead and gone Like our favourite line from a forgotten song [Pre-Chorus: Murray Macleod] I'll show you my hurt, and I'll show you my heart A life lost in the dark [Chorus: Sam Carter] The past is dead I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace The past is dead I walk the funeral march, and I will make my peace [Verse 2: Sam Carter] When I reach the end, will I beg for more? Will I look back or step through the door? I stand beneath a monolith Do you ever feel like you won't be missed? There's parts of me that are lost forever At least we're all lost together I heard that this was only a ride So there's no worth in waiting for death to arrive [Bridge: Murray Macleod] All we are is just a name, it's who we are Our skin, it shows these crippled bones, youth sinks alone All we are is just a name, it's who we are Our skin, it shows these crippled bones, youth sinks alone I'll show you my hurt, and I'll show you my heart A life lost in the dark [Outro: Sam Carter] There's parts of me that are lost forever At least we're all lost together, oh! There's parts of me that are lost forever
