Born Young

You were born young, seeking something like the sun
I was born off – a little soft, a lot of lost
It will be much harder than it will seem, but haven’t we
Both often dreamed?
Hues of dawn cast – the oven gas, the candle crack
It’s all so fast, I hesitate to even ask…
It will go and come again, if we can hold
Haven’t we both often known? Don’t we come into our own?
Haven’t we both often dreamed?
I mean, haven’t we?
Flash your cracked teeth – there is nobody here but me!
Who knows we two? There never was a one but you
It will cut down deep, though, like a life, it will heal clean
Haven’t we both often dreamed?
You were born young
It’s all so fast
I was born off
You and I, we were born young
