There's not much of a future in getting old
When you hid the highs and just live the lows
At least that's what they say
At least that's what I'm told
I'm gonna' take your black heart and paint it gold
Let's start with the end
And work back to beginnings
One day is a long way away when you're spinning
The minute hand past the hour hand 'till you land
Some place far away that you never could have planned
It's an easy way out of a hard way in
Forgive and forget and forget who's forgiven
On the other hand you can't really stand for a plan
That takes you far away from the place you wanna stand
There's not much of a future in getting old
When you hid the highs, and just live the lows
At least that's what they say
At least that's what I'm told
I'm gonna' take your black heart and paint it gold
Making up for lost time
Where'd you put it
Waking up at the scene of the crime
I knew I shoulda'
I knew you woulda'
If we both knew we coulda'
If the situation let me
But don't forget me
There's not much of a future in letting yourself get old
When you hide the highs and just live the lows
You'll end up letting that little heart of yours turn black
Don't end up wondering how do I turn those pages back
Don't spin too far away[X3]
I'm gonna' take your black heart
Don't spin too far away[X6]
There's not much of a future in getting old
When you hid the highs and just live the lows
At least that's what they say
At least that's what I'm told
I'm gonna' take your black heart and paint it gold
