I'm still stuck payin' Sallie Mae the next sixteen Years of my life, and is it me or does that not seem right? See I just wanna go back to playin' tag and ridin' my bike Damn life now could you tell me when did you get so hard? I remember my biggest worry were my Pokemon cards I put a lemonade stand right at the edge of my yard That seemed so far, but now I hear there may be life on Mars Yo, and it seems like just yesterday Jim was at my house sayin', "Could Mark come out to play?" Now we're both over school guess a real world on its way It's crazy how we go through life and take for granted each day But hey, things change, and people change And that's just a part of life don't believe it will stay the same Love with everything you got and don't anticipate the pain Because today is the day your whole world could just… Change Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun Look how much can change in a year You gain love, you lose love, you go and outdo your peers And never being relevant, I thinks my number one fear So when I leave this earth I hope you all remember me hear I'm screaming, "Fuck it, I'm young" , 'cause I'm drunk And when I'm drinking, I pretend like I just give no fucks You see I rarely drink but stress got my cup filled up Puke out my lunch and now the only way I look is done Yo, since when does alcohol equal happiness Know a couple people started drinkin' ain't been happy since When we were just kids, we would never need a substance Used to love the party, now I realize that don't mean shit Fake friends and girls change like nickels and dimes This girl is telling you she loves you then changing her mind Just make your every moment precious because soon you will find You're buying clothes, cars, and diamonds, but you can't buy time Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
