From the recording found & lost
Written by Morgan Keating and Glenn Larson
Lyrics
Well the nights too long for sleeping
And I can not keep my head from thinking
That I'll throw my plans in one small bag
And leave this town behind
Took what I had from the bank
And I grabbed my wheels and I filled the tank
Now I'm staring at your window
And I'm calling out your name
I don't know what's there outside
But I know there's a world out there to find
Tonight
Cause we are only young for so long
We are only young for so long
Throw the rope down that we made
From the bed sheets that your parents saved
In hopes that we would settle down
Grow old and die in this dead end town
It's true we're only young for so long
You said yourself as you were crying so
Save your tears and save the years
And break with me
I'm sorry mom and I'm sorry dad
But what good's a man when there's nothing left inside?
Tonight
Cause we are only young for so long
We are only young for so long
I'm sorry mom and I'm sorry dad
But I'm stealing my life back
Tonight
Cause we are only young for so long
We are only young for so long
