Stay Young
Maisie Peters Lyrics

I wanna say it like Simon would
I want to express myself with the same boldness and conviction as Simon, a well-spoken individual.

'Cause I was listening this morning
I became inspired by something I heard earlier today.

On my own thinking if I could
I was alone and contemplating my ability to achieve something great.

I'd be Kathy and make this bus a Greyhound
I wish I had the power to transform this ordinary bus into something grand like a Greyhound bus named Kathy.

And this sun would always stay down
I want the sun to never set so that we can have infinite time together.

And there would be so much time for us
We would have an abundance of time to do whatever we want without feeling rushed.

My hand's out, I wanna throw my cards now
I'm ready to take a bold and decisive action.

Making your name our hometown
I want to associate your name with the place where we feel most at home together.

But all my trains are here
Unfortunately, all of my connections and obligations are here and now.

Please don't be worried
I don't want you to feel anxious or concerned for me.

No doubt I'll find you in our old crowd
I'm confident that I'll be able to locate you among the familiar people we know.

So many things to say, if you stay
I have a lot to share with you and want you to stick around to hear it all.

I know that I'm talking too much
I acknowledge that I may be rambling on and on.

And I'll get nowhere tryna do it at once
I understand that trying to accomplish everything at once will lead to nowhere.

But oh my God, I wanna be someone
I have a strong desire to become someone and leave my mark on the world.

With me, 'cause I hope that it's you
I want you to be there with me as I pursue my dreams and aspirations.

That I'll break my back tryna run home to
I'm willing to work tirelessly and make immense sacrifices to come back to you.

Because oh my God, I want you to be the one
I strongly desire for you to be the person I spend my life with.

I wanna make my mother feel things
I want to evoke strong emotions and feelings within my own mother.

I wanna have the marching band
I aspire to have a grand and celebratory entrance with a marching band.

But right now it's just me and steel strings, lonely
Unfortunately, at the moment it's just me and my guitar making music, feeling isolated and alone.

So when I miss you it is slowly
Whenever I miss you, it feels like time passes slowly.

'Cause I'm doing good here mostly on my own
I'm doing alright for the most part, despite being on my own.

I know it's hard, know that I'm never there
I'm aware that it's difficult and that I'm not physically present all the time.

But call me from the bathroom when you're low
When you're feeling down, please reach out to me even if you're in the bathroom.

We'll stay young until we wanna be old
We'll continue to live our lives with youthful enthusiasm until we become content with aging.

Electric blankets so we're never cold
We'll use electric blankets to keep ourselves warm and comfortable at all times.

'Cause you have always been my ticket home
You've always been the reason I want to come back home.

And we stayed young
Despite the passage of time, we remained youthful and full of energy.

Just stay young
I want you to continue living your life with a youthful and adventurous spirit.
