written and recorded in the winter of 2011 at our bed stuy apartment in brooklyn, ny.
lyrics
i am a fountain of youth
either too late or too soon
driven with nowhere to drive to
end up at some late night fast food
washing with purple shampoo
everyday a costume
grandpa should never like my haircut
at least he don't know that i smoke pot too
it's a funny life
and i'm laughing till i start to cry
someone left me here
now i'm waiting for another ride
i am a fountain of youth
i'll take it all out on you
hard to explain what i'm mad at
or why all my favorite songs are so sad
inside the jeep we drip dry
listening to the loveline
my imagination runs wild
no longer shall i be treated like a child
it's a funny life
and i'm laughing till i start to cry
take a photograph
just to prove that we gave it a try
when you are younger
you wish you were older
and then you get old
all of the questions
outnumber the answers
i guess you never know
so much of living
is wasted on worry
of things you can't control
my body is changing
my heart wants the same thing
and i don't wanna go
now it's getting heavy
the middle of the medley
i gotta take it slow
