Ask me what I'm here for

The answer is watching you

Try as you age

That's not the answer I was looking for

I'm hoping for the wisdom

In the things that you've known

But I've found it in the things that you owe



And if you were hurt, who would you turn to now?

If you were hurt, who would you turn to now?



These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

These are great times wasted

I was old pretending to be young



And now that you've chosen something

You told me you've chosen the same as before

So what is it I should know?

What is it I have to know?

What is it I have to choose to know?

It's what I don't know



And if you were hurt, who would you turn to now?

If you were hurt, who would you turn to now?



These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

These are great times wasted

I was old pretending to be



These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

These are great times wasted

I was old and I was young

I wasn't young
