[Chorus]
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun

[Verse 1]
I graduated Magna Cum Laude, what does that mean?
I'm still stuck payin' Sallie Mae the next sixteen
Years of my life, and is it me or does that not seem right?
See I just wanna go back to playin' tag and ridin' my bike
Damn life, now could you tell me when did you get so hard?
I remember my biggest worry were my Pokémon cards
I put a lemonade stand right at the edge of my yard
That seemed so far, but now I hear there may be life on Mars
Yo, and it seems like just yesterday
Jim was at my house sayin', "Could Mark come out to play?"
Now we're both over school guess a real world on its way
It's crazy how we go through life and take for granted each day
But hey, things change, and people change
And that's just a part of life don't believe it will stay the same
Love with everything you got and don't anticipate the pain
Because today is the day your whole world could just… change

[Chorus]
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun

[Verse 2]
Look how much can change in a year
You gain love, you lose love, you go and outdo your peers
And never being relevant, I thinks my number one fear
So when I leave this earth I hope you all remember me here
I'm screaming, "Fuck it, I'm young", 'cause I'm drunk
And when I'm drinking, I pretend like I just give no fucks
You see I rarely drink but stress got my cup filled up
Puke out my lunch and now the only way I look is dumb
Yo, since when does alcohol equal happiness
Know a couple people started drinkin' ain't been happy since
When we were just kids, we would never need a substance
Used to love the party, now I realize that don't mean shit
Fake friends and girls change like nickels and dimes
This girl is telling you she loves you then changing her mind
Just make your every moment precious because soon you will find
You're buying clothes, cars, and diamonds, but you can't buy time

[Chorus]
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun
