A Youth Written In Fire lyrics

[Verse 1]

Remember the first time we got high

We felt like the rabid lion's roar

We were elastic and then we were healed

Healed in the blinking of an eye

And then when the dawn cracked over us

The day wouldn't hit us hard at all

We could ride the morning into night again

We knew the days were there to waste

[Pre-Chorus]

But these days

That light hit so heavy

And those days

Feel like another life

[Chorus]

This isn't like the first time anymore

And I've been chasing after all

Digging for the lost memories

Of a youth written in fire

You always said it's not too late for me

I sure am listening to you now

Leaving me so I can trust myself

'Cause there's a first time for that too

[Verse 2]

Remember the first time that we kissed

It felt like a planet forming

But we were just novices at this

It felt like an ancient wisdom

There was lightning then and those

Songs were [?] true

No wonder I still think so much about you

[Pre-Chorus]

But these days

My heart feels too heavy

And those days

Are someone else's life

[Chorus]

This isn't like the first time anymore

And I've been chasing after all

Digging for the lost memories

Of a youth written in fire

You always said it's not too late for me

I sure am listening to you now

Leaving me so I can trust myself

'Cause there's a first time for that too
