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
