The Importance of Being Young

We're near the perimeter It's been a long everlasting winter I'm glad that it's summer We watch the landfill of stars in the sky Our teen years are high As we look in our minds for the years that have gone by We kill our eyes and start to cry You only live once Our lives just started to bounce My ozone layered past consisting of broken memories Is all we have sorrowing in the wake of you
