Under the stars on Brighton Beach Seems like only yesterday I I remember when you you were only seventeen You You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen I I guess you you found it hard to simply just ignore ignore This scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour

My youth is yours My youth, my youth is yours And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls Runaway now and forevermore A truth so loud you you can't ignore ignore My youth, my youth, my youth What if, what if we run

Everyone gather around for a show Watch as this man disappears as we know Do me a favor and try to ignore ignore Him in bed late at night, he's petrified As you you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor He wakes up early today Throws on a mask that will alter

Too long trying to resist it You You've just gone and missed it It's escaped your world Can you you see that I I am needing And begging for so much more Than you you could ever give And I I don't want you you to adore me Don't want you you to ignore ignore me When it pleases you you

Your sudden death from above While alone and left abandoned With the sentence you you've been handed All your angels will ignore ignore you As your life flashes before you you Even still you you keep on fighting Through the thunder and the lightning And now Heaven sends

I'm running, running Got me running, running, ooh Now I'm running for my life Been too many miles Tryna find the road to you you 'Cause you you, you just wanna drive With no place in mind Where the hell we going to, oh? I I just can't ignore ignore it

And you you only got one shot, don't ignore, yeah 'Cause I'm so choosy, choosy, yeah, yeah Mans say I'm too bougie, bougie, yeah, yeah So I'ma give you you one shot, go ahead, pour it So I'ma make one stop for you you, for you you Gotta give me all you you got So I'ma make
