[Verse 1]
Walls of stripes, a nursery
Slept my way to reality
All I had was a love that was bad
And survived, call it strategy
Broke and loose by night time
And a place at heaven's gate
Holding on to me and my weak sanity
Still, I wonder what I did right

[Chorus]
Can't wait to be young again
For a life lived with no regrets
No heart isn't willing to start all over
And play the part, of a lover who lives for the pain
To be young again

[Verse 2]
She taught me how to read
He snuck me out to keep me from crying
Didn't know what I was looking for then
Now all I want is to be home with them

[Chorus]
Can't wait to be young again
And be more than just a friend or a lover
Why can't we play pretend
That our love will never end and survive us
[Refrain]
Can't wait to be young again
Can't wait to be young again
Can't wait to be young again

[Outro]
And learn about pain
What I'm feeling
Maybe then I'll never have to want to be young again
