We used to sing that we'd be "18 forever"
and while that tune still feels Brand New,
somehow we have gotten older,
convinced ourselves it's for the better,
I'm still wondering when I'll get what I'm due.
And if I was you, I'd be sorry for me too,
but I'm just me, so I'll be happy for my simple truths,
they're all that I'll hold onto.
Now I'm riding in a van with my friends,
and we're listening to Coast to Coast AM,
talking underground conspiracies
and who shot John F. Kennedy,
I really thought I'd be over this by now.
And if I was you, I'd be sorry for me too,
but I'm just me so I'll be happy for my simple truths,
they're all that I'll hold onto.
When I grow old
and this guitar is covered in dust,
don't leave me cold,
don't leave me cold.
You're all that I'll hold onto,
you're still my simple truth.
