Young Man Songtext
You called me up the other day in the middle of the afternoon
It was hard to hear you there was too much noise in your room
You were watching the Simpson's and listening to Young Emcee
I was playing Donkey Kong on my TV, said it felt like 1993

Frankly I'm so over it, I don't want to sing this verse
It's about my younger days and how they're infinitely worse
With my girl, with the world there was plenty of uncertainty
That's how you know this verse had to be, written about 2003
And it makes me wonder (wonder)
If my whole life could be an endless summer (summer)
Sometimes I swear it feels like I must be getting
Younger, Younger, Younger, oh oh

We were in the Ozarks it was the first time in 5 years
Everything was exactly the same and so not at all how it appeared
Sometimes I think this graveyard is holding my entire tribe
Who'd have guessed you'd be the one to survive, not back in 2005

The day was prolly august, the place was 3 pm
It is always Sunday in the Ramsell basement
The light is soft the couch is not, we're ready for you to arrive
This could be any year you were alive, why not 1995?

And it makes me wonder (wonder)
If my whole life could be an endless summer (summer)
Sometimes I swear it feels like I must be getting
Younger, Younger, Younger, oh oh (whole thing 2x)
