lyrics

When I was ten years old, I had skinned knees
A fan of everything with no time for apathy
A little lost, but I was unafraid of anything
And I miss those days

Oh, oh, oh,
So unshakable
Pushing every bottle out into the sea
Hoping the messages would make it to an island
Didn’t stop to wonder what any of it means

Oh, to be younger
Every moment in itself was so complete
Oh, to be younger
I gotta remember what it’s like to live that free

At 16, I loved without limits
Singing every feeling, trying to make it count
Nothing to hold me back
Oh, to know the world was mine, but have nothing figured it out

Oh, oh, oh
So unbreakable
Windows down and speeding up the Florida beach
Couldn’t imagine life would ever separate us,
Or that anything we faced would steal us from our dreams

Oh, to be younger
Every moment in itself was so complete
Oh, to be younger
I gotta remember what it’s like to live that free

Oh, oh to be young!
Oh, oh to be young!

28 now, one year older than my mother was
The day I met her in the hospital
A little lost, a little more afraid of everything
But I’ll miss these days

Oh, to be younger
Every moment in itself is all I need
Oh, to be younger
I gotta remember what it’s like to be free

Oh, to be younger
Every moment in itself was so complete
Oh, to be younger
I gotta remember what it’s like to live that free

Oh, oh to be young!
Oh, oh to be young!
