[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
