Young
Ruby Frost Lyrics

Mother likes my eyes of wonder
My mother praises me for always looking at the world around me with wonder and curiosity.

She tells me that they wander all the whole day through
My mother observes that my eyes are constantly scanning my environment, taking it all in.

But lately you say my eyes are faded
You've noticed that I seem to have lost that sense of wonder and curiosity. My eyes no longer sparkle with excitement.

How'd I get so jaded at only 22
It's strange that I would already feel jaded and uninterested in the world at such a young age.

Who cares what I've done
It doesn't matter what I've accomplished so far in my life.

Who cares the songs I've sung
It doesn't matter what kind of music I've made or performed.

I'll abandon it, I'm young
I'm willing to let go of my past and start fresh since I still have plenty of time to figure things out.

Who cares where I'm from
It doesn't matter where I grew up or what kind of background I have.

Who cares my clothes are torn
It doesn't matter if my clothes are old and worn out.

Burning our youth to be discerning
We're spending our youthful energy trying to make smart decisions and consider all the options rather than just living in the moment.

Kicking rocks and learning ignorance is bliss
We're slowly realizing that sometimes it's better not to overthink things and to just enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

Stumble, get lost in our jungle
We're bound to make mistakes and get lost as we navigate our complex lives.

We don't have to crumble, we can still be fixed
Despite any challenges we may face, we have the ability to come out stronger and more resilient than before.

Smoke from the starting gun
The beginning of something new can often be accompanied by a sense of excitement and urgency.

Is filling up my lungs
I feel like I'm breathing in the energy and excitement of what's to come.

Oh, we've got the world at our feet
We have so many opportunities available to us and our potential is limitless.

Let's kick it
Let's make the most of our time and go after what we want with all our energy.

It's time for us to kick the dust, oh, oh
It's time for us to leave behind the past and forge ahead towards the future.

It's time to let the old days rust
We need to move on from our past experiences and allow ourselves to grow and change.

Who cares the hearts we've stung
It doesn't matter if we've hurt people in the past, as long as we learn and grow from those experiences.

Who cares the webs we've spun
It doesn't matter if we've made mistakes or misled people, as long as we take responsibility for our actions and move forward.

Though I stumble every rung
Even if I encounter obstacles and setbacks along the way, I'm still moving forward and making progress.

I'm on the ladder to see the sun
I'm working hard to achieve my goals and reach a point where I'm happy and fulfilled in life.
