Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was yelling in my sleep I was crying, feeling weak Do we have to feel this way? It wasn't like this yesterday [Chorus 1] Everything is fine When you're young and stupid Everything's divine When you're young and stupid [Verse 2] There's an easy start to things There's the thrill that beauty brings Glued together at the hips Stuck together at the lips [Chorus 2] Nature has the lead When you're young and stupid Nurture will impede When you're young and stupid [Verse 3] Now we're old with creaking bones Some with partners, some alone Some with kids and some with dogs Getting through the nightly slog [Chorus 3] Flashes in the mind You were young and stupid Keeps us warm at night All our young and stupid [Chorus 4] Makes us feel delight We were young and stupid Makes you feel regret When you're young and stupid [Outro] You know I kept reminding myself that nothing matters Nothing matters, you know. Sometimes you have a fight with someone or you get frustrated or, you know, something is happening and then you catch a little glimpse of the outside and, I don't know, it's just a bird flying or you see a funny shape in the cloud and you think 'what am I doing? You know, I'm so small, nothing, nothing matters... so whatever'
