Youth - Sam Roberts Band

Someone turn the lights on

I’ve been dreaming of the days of my youth

Blinded by the white sun

In the dream I always wake up too soon

On the first day, wide awake

Candle on the birthday cake

Scraped knees, make believe

Holidays by the sea

First snow, Peter Pan

Holding on to momma’s hand

I never want to let it go

'Cause you’re only young once

Try to remember

How your heart was beating

When you were young

You’re only young onc

They won’t last forever

Thse days we are stealing

Under the sun

I can see that I have changed

But I feel like I’m the same wide-eyed child

Won’t you take me there again

One more time

So I can see the way I did back then for awhile

On the school bus, paper planes

Hats on graduation day

Slow dance, shaky hands

Buried feet in the sand

First crush, heartbreak, never make the same mistakes

And never wish it all away

'Cause you’re only young once

Try to remember

How your heart was beating

When you were young

You’re only young once

They won’t last forever

These days we are stealing

Under the sun

Time pulls you on, child

Just know that I love you

Try to hold on to

These dreams you belong to

Sing from the heart, child

That’s all I ask of you

Try to hold on to

These dreams you belong to

The dreams you belong to

The dreams you belong to
