Lyrics

I have a confession to make

I have something important to admit

I've never been the kind of kid

I've never been the type of person

Who likes to buy what you're selling to me

Who easily accepts what others are trying to sell to me


And all of this rhetoric about loving you

All the talk about loving you

Is just another clever iteration

Is just another clever way of expressing

Of what I'm selling to you

What I'm trying to convey to you


I'm going under with you

I'm facing challenges or difficulties along with you

Is that what you want me to do?

Is that what you desire from me?


They say that we are younger than our years

People claim that we are more youthful than our age suggests

And who is to say it's not so?

And who can definitively say it's not true?

They've got years on us, don't they know?

They have more life experience than us, but do they understand?


I have a confession to make

I have another important revelation

I took a lesson from a liar

I learned something from a dishonest person

But it never inspired a thing

But it didn't lead to anything inspiring


And all of this rhetoric about loving you

All the talk about loving you

Is just another clever way to say

Is just another clever way of saying

I know what I'm getting into

I understand the consequences


I'm going under with you

I'm facing challenges or difficulties along with you

Is that what you want me to do?

Is that what you desire from me?


They say that we are younger than our years

People claim that we are more youthful than our age suggests

And who is to say it's not so?

And who can definitively say it's not true?

They've got years on us, don't they know?

They have more life experience than us, but do they understand?


And even if we're younger than they know

Even if we are younger than they perceive

Who is to say it's not life?

Who can say it's not a valid way of living?

Let's make it last, let's make it last

Let's cherish and prolong this experience


I'm going under with you

I'm facing challenges or difficulties along with you

I'm going under with you

-

I'm through making promises

I'm done with making commitments

That I can't keep

That I cannot fulfill


It's not what I sent out to do

This is not what I intended to happen

Did everything come crashing down?

Did everything collapse?

I'm going under with you, with you

I'm facing challenges or difficulties along with you, with you


They say we are younger than our years

People claim that we are more youthful than our age suggests

And who is to say it's not so?

And who can definitively say it's not true?

And they've got years on us, don't they know?

They have more life experience than us, but do they understand?


And even if we're younger than they know

Even if we are younger than they perceive

Who is to say it's not right?

Who can say it's not a valid way of living?

Let's make it last, let's make it last

Let's cherish and prolong this experience

Let's make it last
