since i was young
Nobody knows what it means
You just go and you hope that you'll grow, that's life
My whole life philosophy
Oh, it changes with the tide
I was like sixteen
Smoking a cigarette for the first time
Trying so hard to impress some guy
Or some girl
I forget
Twenty-nine
I never thought I'd be twenty-nine
The years just follow me
Some nights I still don't understand it
Since I was young
I always tried to cover up
Who I was and who I loved
Then I got older
Since I was young
I always thought that twenty-five
Would be the last year of my life
Then I got sober
And now I'm more myself than I ever was
I'm happier than I ever was
And I've learned to let someone love me for me
Oh, since I was young
Always been the weird one
Fucking up that little town
And I've been this way since I was young
Babe, ain't it so bitter-sweet
Knowing all of the beautiful things will go?
So I wanna feel this shit deep
Every feeling, every heartbreak, every high and every low
I was like eighteen
City of Angels, drinking codeine
Swear I saw a demon in my back-seat
Oh, those Laurel Canyon nights
Now I'm twenty-nine
I never thought I'd be still alive
Someone's watching out for me
Baby, I'll never understand it
Since I was young
I always tried to cover up
Who I was and who I loved
Then I got older
Since I was young
I always thought that twenty-five
Would be the last year of my life
Then I got sober
And now I'm more myself than I ever was
I'm happier than I ever was
And I've learned to let someone love me for me
Oh, since I was young
Always been the weird one
Fucking up that little town
And I've been this way since I was young

Since I was young
Me, I'm still me, I'm still me
Who I was, who I've been, who I'll always be
Since I was young
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Since I was young
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh
Since I was young, since I was young, since I was young
Since I was young
