i don't feel young
i don't feel scared
i'm in control
i am prepared
i'll never cry
i'll sit and stare
i don't feel young
i don't feel old
i don't feel proud
i speak too fast
i laugh too loud
i am the smallest--
in the crowd
i don't feel old
i can't see you
but i can guess
you gave a speech
they're all impressed
but still your room
is all i miss
i can't see you
and so we fight
can't have you now
i'll learn to walk
and learn to give
the word you gave--
me in my mouth
and spit it out
if you feel young
and feel ready
or if you feel old
and just need sleep
you know your--
secret's safe with me
if you feel young
if you feel young
if you feel young
