Don’t Let Our Youth Go To Waste (Jonathan Richman)
I need to walk by the flowers with someone who can share my face
It looks like no one can take your place
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
on those days
and I could drink up everything you have
Don’t let it go to waste
I could give you memories to rival Berlin in the 30s
and I really understand your dating bar ways
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
on those days, and I could drink up everything you have
Don’t let it go to waste
Say something warm
Say something bright
I can’t stand to see you when you’re cold
Nor can I stand being out of your life
I could bleed in sympathy with you
on those days, and I could drink up everything you have
Don’t let our youth go to waste
