Tuck Everlasting

I spent the better part of a year
Writing songs and running in circles
I tried to keep my conscience clear but its hard
When you're stuck in the same place again

And every legacy I've built
Is taken away by time
I'm sick of waiting for all the stars to align

I'm running on fumes from the past five years before me
And how I used to be
Anxious yet optimistic
Oh I've changed and how I miss it
Because they say
Those best years are behind us
So I'll seek out the fountain of youth
Even if it only brings me that much closer to you

Live like you want a future

I'm a skeptic in the audience of a magic show
But I'm the one that wants to disappear
Into the great unknown
(The great unknown)
But the clock hands are out to get me
I can feel their palms around my neck
And I can't breath and I can't sleep
(I can't sleep)

I'm running on fumes from the past five years before me
And how I used to be
Anxious yet optimistic
Oh I've changed and how I miss it
Because they say
Those best years are behind us
So I'll seek out the fountain of youth
Even if it only brings me that much closer to you

I'm stuck in traffic
Surrounded by bodies
Suspended in vessels with the stereo on
Lather rinse repeat
Just please don't forget me
Cause' I know you're waiting
And I'm sick of waiting too
Those best years are behind us
(And I'm sick of waiting too)
Those best years are behind us
And I'm sick of waiting

I'm running on fumes from the past five years before me
And how I used to be
Anxious yet optimistic
Oh I've changed and how I miss it
Because they say
Those best years are behind us
So I'll seek out the fountain of youth
Even if it only brings me that much closer to you
