about

Being old might make you wise, but the only way to get there is by being young and making mistakes.

lyrics

Youth is wasted on the young
The old are wise from all their years
The young are learning how to live
The old see it through their tears

Still we can’t go back in time
Once that magic moment flies
We can’t call it back again
It’s gone forever from our lives

/chorus/
But there’s something to be said
For skating circles on thin ice
For kissing someone in the dark
For being crazy once or twice

For being fearless and alive
For giving more than you will get
For casting caution to the wind
For saying I’m not ready yet
/end chorus/

If it weren’t for youth’s mistakes
The old would not be wise
If it weren’t for broken hearts
We’d never recognize a lie

Life’s lessons can be hard
But we’d never ever learn
If it weren’t for those years
When the fire inside burned

/repeat chorus/
