Alternate Inevitability - Youth remains

#AlternateInevitability #1992 #YouthRemains "Youth Remains" is Chapter 4 of 1992—a song about holding onto the part of yourself that never stopped wondering, laughing, or dreaming. Time moves forward, people change, but the memories that shaped us stay alive long after the summer ends. Growing older is inevitable. Growing up is optional. Lyrics : Verse 1 They paved over... The parking lot... Where we'd waste... What little we got... The pizza place... Is something else... Still catch myself... Turning there... Pre-Chorus I don't miss... Being sixteen... I miss the way... Sixteen felt... Nobody thought... About goodbye... It never crossed... Our minds... Chorus Wish we knew... Those Friday nights... Wouldn't wait... For anyone... We said... "We'll do it next week..." Like next week... Would always come... If I could borrow... Just one evening... I'd spend it... Exactly the same... Verse 2 Your old number... Still comes up... Whenever... I change my phone... Don't even know... If it still works... Never had... The nerve to check... Pre-Chorus Life got bigger... Bills showed up... Schedules won... Weekends disappeared... Still feels strange... How five years... Can vanish... Without a sound... Chorus Wish we knew... Those Friday nights... Wouldn't wait... For anyone... We said... "We'll do it next week..." Like next week... Would always come... If I could borrow... Just one evening... I'd spend it... Exactly the same... Bridge Nobody tells you... The last time... Is the last time... While it's happening... One day... It just becomes... A story... You tell... Final Chorus So if you're out... Past midnight... Don't rush home... Just yet... Laugh too loud... Take the long way... Stay a little... Longer... Some things... Are worth more... Than you realize... Until years later...
