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 out 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 Maybe 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 out 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
Since I was young
Yeah, yeah Since I was young, since I was young, since I was young Since I was young
