stephin merritt - when you're young and in love lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
you can teeter on the brink of a precipice
ov’r an infinitely deep abyss
and somehow not even notice this
when you’re young and in love
you can grow a little older every day
watch your stupid life wasting away
somehow everything is a-ok
when you’re young and in love

[bridge]
but when you’re not
the poisoned fangs of time
become quite plain
when you’re not
it almost seems a crime
not to go insane

[verse 2]
you can whirl and twirl on the world’s carousel
hurdle round and round and feel quite well
never even knowing you’re in h-ll
when you’re young and in love
you can know the world has nothing left to give
be condemned to die, content to live
and be happy if and only if
you’re young and in love

[bridge]
but when you’re not
the poisoned fangs of time
become quite plain
when you’re not
it almost seems a crime
not to go insane

[verse 3]
you can teeter on the brink of a precipice (a precipice)
ov’r an infinitely deep abyss (a deep abyss)
and somehow not even notice this
when you’re young and in love
you can grow a little older every day (old, every day)
watch your stupid life wasting away (wasting away)
somehow everything is a-ok
when you’re young and in love
