lyrics

Intro
Oooo
Oooooooh
Ooooh
Oooh

Verse 1
The neighbors are fighting, I don’t really mind it I’m up anyway, it’s past three
I hear them pacing but not what they’re saying, but try not to eavesdrop at least
Each time you leave me, I struggle to sleep, I know how this bed’s meant to feel
The neighbors keep fighting, I don’t really mind it, they feel almost like company

Chorus
Youth was made for the young and reckless
I was made for you
Truth be told I‘d be glad to grow old
If you’ll do it too

Oooooh
Oooh

Verse 2
Lingering beats, watching hours repeat impatiently tracking the days
Usually rushing without interruption, now suddenly feel out of pace
I would’ve wanted to write something decent, make use of the time you’re away
Lingering beats, watching hours repeat counting second’s an easy mistake

Chorus
Youth was made for the young and reckless
I was made for you
Truth be told I‘d be glad to grow old
If you’ll do it too

Some were made for fame and greatness
I thought I was too, but
If I’m honest all that I wanted
Was to be with you

Oooooh
Oooh
Oooh
Ooohh

Verse 3
I’d play something pretty but half my guitar strings suddenly gave up on me
Revising, combining, removing, re-writing syllables and melodies

Chorus
Youth was made for the young and reckless
I was made for you
Truth be told I‘d be glad to grow old
If you’ll do it too

Some were made for fame and greatness
I thought I was too, but
If I’m honest all that I wanted
Was to be with you
