Young
The Band CAMINO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna call out your name,
But I'm scared of what you'll say.
When I think about myself,
Have I changed? Am I someone else?
This isn't what it was, back when I was young.

I thought these dreams were friends of mine,
But they turn to monsters in my mind.
You tried to warn me from the start, but I would not change my stubborn heart.

I wanna call out your name,
But I'm scared of what you'll say.
When I think about myself,
Have I changed? Am I someone else?
This isn't what it was, back when I was young.

You've been on my mind these days.
No matter how, you stay the same.
It's funny how things always change.
I woke up farther than I came.

I wanna call out your name,
But I'm scared of what you'll say.
When I think about myself,
Have I changed? Am I someone else?
This isn't what it was, back when I was young.

The more I learn, the less I know.
The more I feel, the less I show.
The more I learn, the less I know.
The more I feel, the less I show.
(repeat)

I wanna call out your name,
But I'm scared of what you'll say.
When I think about myself,




Have I changed? Am I someone else?
This isn't what it was.
