The Lumineers

Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you re thinking that you re leaving there too soon
You re leaving there too soon

It s so noisy at the fair
And all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad

Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you re thinking that you re leaving there too soon
You re leaving there too soon

There s a girl just down the aisle
Oh to turn and see her smile
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read the hidden note

Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you re thinking that you re leaving there too soon
You re leaving there too soon

Now you re underneath the stairs
And you re giving back some glares
To the people that you met
And it s your first cigarette

Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you re thinking that you re leaving there too soon
You re leaving there too soon

Now you say you re leaving home
Cause you want to be alone
Ain t it funny how you feel
When you re finding out it s real?

Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you re thinking that you re leaving there too soon
You re leaving there too soon
