[00:01.03] Saw your picture, by the mirror
[00:06.51] Your eyes were brighter from far away, you said
[00:12.48] Since you joined us, since the circus
[00:18.34] You'd lost a purpose and wilder ways with us till
[00:24.35] Underneath the surface, down beneath the dust
[00:30.51] In there lies all that you've lost
[00:33.56]
[00:34.06] You're not as old as you think
[00:36.85] You're not as afraid as it seems
[00:39.78] It's not as hard to be perfect
[00:42.80] It's even less to believe
[00:45.39]
[00:45.58] Not just imaginary people
[00:48.52] Living love songs and dreams
[00:51.55] Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
[00:57.53] You're not as old as you think
[01:00.42] Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it
[01:05.64]
[01:11.78] A magazine says, your life's wasted
[01:17.56] But you can save it with beauty creams, they don't know
[01:23.77] These lines and spaces, across our faces are
[01:29.61] Maps and memories of where we've been
[01:35.47] Don't let them prey upon you, don't believe the hype
[01:41.57] Don't let it weigh on your minds
[01:44.77]
[01:45.01] You're not as old as you think
[01:47.95] You're not as afraid as it seems
[01:50.77]
[01:50.96] It's not as hard to be perfect
[01:53.76] It's even less to believe
[01:56.50]
[01:56.69] Not just imaginary people
[01:59.80] Living love songs and dreams
[02:02.54] Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
[02:08.57] You're not as old as you think
[02:11.42] Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it
[02:16.99]
[02:22.52] You've got a body of a summertime
[02:25.64] You're not a number in a chorus line
[02:28.38] You're out of prison but you still have some time
[02:32.28]
[02:32.59] You're not as old as you think
[02:35.32] You're not as afraid as it seems
[02:38.37] It's not as hard to be perfect
[02:41.23] It's even less to believe
[02:44.02]
[02:44.21] Not just imaginary people
[02:47.25] Living love songs and dreams
[02:50.25] Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
[02:56.02] You're not as old as you think
[02:59.08] Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it, to realize it
[03:14.18] Not as old as you think, so don't let it take a lifetime
[03:26.49]
