Everyone wishes they were young. young enough you know it's true. they all want to be like you. if your best day's still to come. and even your mother wants to be your best friend. but she'll never be. because all her history took something away. you wanna tell her to act her age. cause page one can tell heaven or hell. and you know we will place our bets. they'll be no regrets. no arguments. and now you know we can kinda tell. skin deep pretty. when you're young you think you know everywhere you want to go. and take it with you to the show. and the best one has his chance. you stole them all with a shaky hand. will you watch the children for me. will you be my arms for me. will you take me with you when you've gone away. everyone wishes they were fun. and luckier than all who know. the view that they wanna see. staring back at the ground. you wanna tell me that i'm your friend. so come as you are. cause you're a star
