Not As Old
Saw your picture, by the mirror
Your eyes were brighter from far away, you said
Since you joined us, since the circus
You'd lost a purpose and wilder ways with us till
Underneath the surface, down beneath the dust
In there lies all that you've lost
You're not as old as you think
You're not as afraid as it seems
It's not as hard to be perfect
It's even less to believe
Not just imaginary people
Living love songs and dreams
Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it
A magazine says, your life's wasted
But you can save it with beauty creams, they don't know
These lines and spaces, across our faces are
Maps and memories of where we've been
Don't let them prey upon you, don't believe the hype
Don't let it weigh on your minds
You're not as old as you think
You're not as afraid as it seems
It's not as hard to be perfect
It's even less to believe
Not just imaginary people
Living love songs and dreams
Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it
You've got a body of a summertime
You're not a number in a chorus line
You're out of prison but you still have some time
You're not as old as you think
You're not as afraid as it seems
It's not as hard to be perfect
It's even less to believe
Not just imaginary people
Living love songs and dreams
Still meaning to remember and capture the scene
You're not as old as you think
Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it, to realize it
Not as old as you think, so don't let it take a lifetime
No tan viejo
Vi tu foto, junto al espejo
Tus ojos brillaban desde lejos, dijiste
Desde que te uniste a nosotros, desde el circo
Perdiste un propósito y formas más salvajes con nosotros hasta
Bajo la superficie, debajo del polvo
Ahí yace todo lo que has perdido
No eres tan viejo como crees
No estás tan asustado como parece
No es tan difícil ser perfecto
Es aún menos creer
No solo personas imaginarias
Viviendo canciones de amor y sueños
Todavía con la intención de recordar y capturar la escena
No eres tan viejo como crees
Solo no dejes que te lleve toda una vida darte cuenta
Una revista dice que tu vida está desperdiciada
Pero puedes salvarla con cremas de belleza, no saben
Estas líneas y espacios, a través de nuestros rostros son
Mapas y recuerdos de donde hemos estado
No dejes que se aprovechen de ti, no creas la publicidad
No dejes que pese en tus mentes
No eres tan viejo como crees
No estás tan asustado como parece
No es tan difícil ser perfecto
Es aún menos creer
No solo personas imaginarias
Viviendo canciones de amor y sueños
Todavía con la intención de recordar y capturar la escena
No eres tan viejo como crees
Solo no dejes que te lleve toda una vida darte cuenta
Tienes un cuerpo de verano
No eres un número en una fila de coro
Estás fuera de la cárcel pero aún tienes tiempo
No eres tan viejo como crees
No estás tan asustado como parece
No es tan difícil ser perfecto
Es aún menos creer
No solo personas imaginarias
Viviendo canciones de amor y sueños
Todavía con la intención de recordar y capturar la escena
No eres tan viejo como crees
Solo no dejes que te lleve toda una vida darte cuenta, darte cuenta
No tan viejo como crees, así que no dejes que te lleve toda una vida
