[00:04.82] When I was young there was fire in my lungs
[00:08.49] And I just wanted someone to listen
[00:13.00] Some ears to ignite with my pen and my tongue
[00:17.09] Oh I knew it was all just a wish
[00:21.45] But that don't mean it couldn't exist
[00:28.48] Just seventeen, yeah, I gave up my gun
[00:32.45] To play this guitar in the trenches
[00:36.43] To sing in the face of a man-eating sun
[00:40.78] That Florida heat is a bitch
[00:45.04] But I wouldn't trade nothing for it
[00:50.85] When I was young
[00:55.15] When I was young
[00:59.29] I got myself broke and beat down, busted up
[01:03.41] Left too many words on the tip of my tongue
[01:07.92] But oh, I was singing at the top of my lungs
[01:12.33] Every night
[01:17.58] Spinning wheels turning, I fell into love
[01:21.36] Swallowed up in a sea of forgiveness
[01:25.72] I've got a crooked killer heart, I've got bastard blood
[01:30.00] But my God, oh, my God, I forgive
[01:33.60] That you keep on paying for these second hand sins
[01:37.95] When I was young
[01:42.28] When I was young
[01:46.30] I was hiding in corners to stay out of sight
[01:50.70] Giving my best but still falling behind
[01:55.08] But I was reborn in the dust and the pines
[01:59.34] Oh, my
[02:03.80] When I was young
[02:08.47] Oh, and now I'm getting pushed and pulled apart
[02:17.05] And I don't know where it ends or where it starts
[02:25.01] And all of those neon lights
[02:29.11] Outside of my window
[02:32.95] Tell me it's not 11 yet
[02:37.95] It's getting close though
[02:42.10] And now I just don't know what to do
[02:51.99] Then I said Matt, you just gotta get back
[02:55.58] To those nights where you sat on the causeway
[03:01.82] All you had was six strings and a heart that beat
[03:06.35] And you knew that it had to mean something
[03:10.46] Yeah you knew that it had to mean something
[03:14.70] I just knew it was better than nothing
[03:18.66] When I was young
[03:22.97] When I was young
[03:27.01] I played rock and roll music on broken guitars
[03:31.41] Spent the whole night laying out under stars
[03:35.69] She told me she loved me with her hand on her heart
[03:39.72] Now I'm turning these pages and holding on tight
[03:44.45] Living this life like I'm never gonna die
[03:48.69] Living this life like I'm never gonna die
[03:52.98] Living this life like I'm never gonna die, die, die
[04:01.58] When I was young
