Lyrics

Too young to die, too old to break through Too young to die, too old to break through [Verse 1] You say you’re leaving the city It’s worn a hole in your soul That you fill with the blood Of all you did and didn’t do All the lovers you took Who went and used you for a fool [Verse 2] Photostrip in the kitchen You spend a minute or two In the light that’s all In this life we can ever do Keeping time with your heart Like a beat on a cut shirt sleeve [Chorus] Too young to die, too old to break through Too young to die, too old to break through [Verse 3] We built a bomb and it’s ticking Running just for the thrill Of a slide through the crack In a door that’s closing on you Sold a lie at the start of a race To the bottom of a hill And tonight you’re still on the island Don’t have to tеll me I have wasted all thеse years Collecting and perfecting this game [Chorus] Too young to die, too old to break through Too young to die, too old to break through Too young to die, too old to break through [Bridge] So come on over, my love All grown up but still short a buck We’ll invite all the people you love One more spin on the floor for luck For luck, for luck And happy, happy birthday, baby This time next year won’t be so crazy I hope you find what you’re looking for [Chorus] Too young to die, too old to break through Too young to die, too old to break through
