too young to die

The Divine Comedy

Too young to die but too old to survive
Iââ?¬â?¢ve spent too long trying to write this song
The tune is ok but the words are all wrong
Maybe itââ?¬â?¢s time for a change
Iââ?¬â?¢ve lived a life since the day I arrived
Building my dreams, grand romantic schemes
Now Iââ?¬â?¢m 28 but Iââ?¬â?¢m still in my teens
Maybe itââ?¬â?¢s time for a change
Chorus:
Now itââ?¬â?¢s time to say goodbye
To my suit, my shirt, my tie
My youth seems to have passed me by
And Iââ?¬â?¢m too young to die
I will not weep for what we leave behind
I must break free from that part of me
That values the art over the humanity
I think itââ?¬â?¢s time for a change
I thought that I was doing fine
But now Iââ?¬â?¢ve changed my mind ââ?¬Ë?cause...
Chorus
Too young to die, yeah! Ooh!
Too young, too young, yeah, yeah, yeah... Ooh!
Maybe itââ?¬â?¢s time for a change...
