Young At Heart
Embracing Nostalgia: A Journey Through Time with Gary Steven Benitez
Lyrics
I remember when I was young
Reflecting on past experiences when the speaker was young
I used to run around outside and say I was Jedi
Recalling childhood play and imagination, pretending to be a Jedi
Cause Star Wars and wrestling were my two favorite things
Expressing fondness for Star Wars and wrestling as favorite childhood interests
Oh I want to go back
Desire to return to the carefree days of youth
I remember my parents being
Reminiscing about the happiness of parents in the past
Being so happy
Noting the joy of parents during the speaker's youth
Oh those were the days
Nostalgia for the past, described as "the days"
But now it's a sweet memory
Recognition that the past is now a cherished memory
that in the future it teaches me
Learning from past experiences to be the best parent in the future
I'll be the best dad I can be
Commitment to being the best possible parent
I used to know the theme song to my favorite show
Recollection of knowing the theme song of a favorite show
And now I see that life is more precious than it seems
A realization that life is more valuable than perceived
And I'll hold on to memories that are long gone
Intention to hold onto memories of the past, despite their distance
Cause I
Assertion of feeling young internally
I still feel young inside
Reaffirmation of feeling youthful inside
I remember my first love
Recalling the speaker's first experience of love
We were crazy and so young
Describing the youthful and carefree nature of the first love
Oh California breeze
Evoking memories of a carefree time in California
But now I'm older and life just seems
Reflecting on the perception that life is shorter with age
Not as long as it used to be
Expressing a desire to return to the past
Oh I want to go back
Yearning to go back to the past
I used to know the theme song to my favorite show
Repetition of knowing the theme song of a favorite show
And now I see that life is more precious than it seems
Reiteration that life is more precious than it appears
And I'll hold on to memories that are long gone
Reaffirmation of holding onto distant memories
Cause I
Assertion of feeling young inside
I still feel young inside
Reiteration of feeling youthful internally
I used to know the theme song to my favorite show
Repetition of knowing the theme song of a favorite show
And now I see that life is more precious than it seems
Reaffirmation that life is more precious than perceived
And I'll hold on to memories that are long gone
Reiteration of holding onto distant memories
Cause I
Assertion of feeling young inside
I still feel young inside
Reiteration of feeling youthful internally
I still feel young
Repetition of feeling young inside
I still feel young inside
Final repetition of feeling youthful internally
