Matt McAndrew - In My Youth Lyrics






I wish I was a hero
Cut from a different time
I wish I was a rebel
I wish I walked the line
I wish I had a true love
And I wish she was mine
A rose among the thorns and vines
I'm growin'

Tonight my heart is broken
It went sinking with the sun
They told me I was reckless
Once I held a loaded gun
But I was bulletproof
When I was in my youth

I wish I was a poet
Who paints the world in words
I wish I was a singer
Like nothing you have heard
I wish I sparrow
Or any kind of bird
At peace upon the wild wind
That's blowin'

I'm looking for my freedom
Down a sweet untraveled road
Far off past the schoolhouse
Where you pushed your moral code
You bent the truth
When I was in my youth

I wish I was a partisan
With something to declare
I wish that I could even
Figure out what shirt to wear
I wish I was the Jack of Hearts
At home with solitaire
'Cause I feel alone
When the moon is glowin'

But if you keep your head up
You can wish upon a star
And even if you're fed up
Just remember who you are
You're bulletproof
And you're still in your youth
