Youth
Glass Animals Lyrics

Boy, when I left you, you were young
I left you when you were young, but my love for you never left

I was gone, but not my love
Although I left physically, my love for you remains

You were clearly meant for more
You have the potential to achieve great things in life

Than a life lost in the war
I don't want you to waste your life in a war or any other kind of struggle

I want you to be happy
I want you to find joy and fulfillment in life

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine
To feel free and uninhibited, to experience excitement and adventure

Funny friends that make you laugh
To surround yourself with people who bring joy and laughter into your life

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy
To not take yourself too seriously, to embrace a silly and carefree side

Fly
To soar and reach for the heights of success and happiness

Feel your mother at your side
To know that your loved ones are always with you, providing guidance and support

Don't you know you got my eyes?
To remember that you inherit the traits and strengths of those who love you

I'll make you fly
I will support and encourage you to achieve your dreams

You'll be happy all the time
To find true and lasting happiness in life

I know you can make it right
To believe in your abilities to overcome challenges and obstacles and succeed

Boy, now your life is back-to-front
Your life may be turned upside down right now

But you'll see that's not for long
But that won't last forever

'Cause I know you'll feel the ghost
You will remember the good times and the love that was shared with those who are no longer with us

Of some memories so warm
Memories that bring comfort and happiness, despite the pain of loss

I'll make you
I will always be there for you

Boy, I want you to be happy
To strive towards and achieve happiness

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine
To live life to the fullest and embrace adventure

Funny friends that make you laugh
To surround yourself with people who bring joy and laughter into your life

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy
To embrace a carefree and fun-loving side

Fly
To reach for the heights of success and happiness

Feel your mother at your side
To remember the love and support of those who have passed away

Don't you know you got my eyes?
To remember the qualities inherited from loved ones

I'll make you fly
To provide support and encouragement towards achieving dreams

You'll be happy all the time
To find true and lasting happiness in life

I know you can make it right
To believe in one's own abilities to overcome challenges and obstacles and succeed

Boy, I want you to be happy
To strive towards and achieve happiness

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine
To live life to the fullest and embrace adventure

Funny friends that make you laugh
To surround yourself with people who bring joy and laughter into your life

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy
To embrace a carefree and fun-loving side

Fly
To reach for the heights of success and happiness

Feel your mother at your side
To remember the love and support of those who have passed away

Don't you know you got my eyes?
To remember the qualities inherited from loved ones

I'll make you fly
To provide support and encouragement towards achieving dreams

You'll be happy all the time
To find true and lasting happiness in life

I know you can make it right
To believe in one's own abilities to overcome challenges and obstacles and succeed
