Young and Old

I'm a little young And I guess you're a bit old But when I first saw you I knew I had a hold On some answers that you've been looking for I'm a little young, but I revel in it You have the answers to all my questions I have the questions to all your answers I have a little trouble with keeping myself out of sight I have a glow, and when I smile at you, I am full of light I light up with happiness, it is plain to see And I know, that you may be bad for me But I know I may be good for you You thought you were lost I know what it's like You think happiness comes at a cost You hold your diary and read the past I hold my book, and read what I am not And I know that you are struggling too make this evening last And you know that my light can get hot I gave you a shard of light You gave me some insight What's your name? you ask me I give you my identity You give me yours And we start to talk through the sunlight's glare And it just goes from there I guess I'm young But I know what it's like to be old And I guess you're old But you know what it's like to be young
