lyrics

Youth and beauty
You had it all
You’re heavenly
Now it wears you thin
It always did
You can never win

My thief she came to me in the form of a juggler
With every pedal and pick on metal I knew I’d love her
The ease of a cool breeze blew through her finger
When she put down one vessel and then picked up another

Speed and quality have an inverse relationship
You you got a way
You always did
You never pray

She was clean and a little bit green for such a talented girl
And I don’t think she’d yet appreciate a visit to the 3rd world
Loving her was like hitting the pool and wearing my Levis
And all the time I said you must be kidding this can’t be right

The heat was beating down upon your chest
I held my breath
Some far off land
You grabbed my face
In the back of a cab

Some might pop a bottle to deny their sorrow
Other pencil it in for infinite tomorrow
What you choose to do you lose out on something else
But in the end you’ll find you get over yourself
