So Young So Wrong So Long Lyrics - The Vanity Project - Vanity Project

This teenage kid, I almost ran and hid 

When he says to me I recognize you from TV 

(You're all that I don't want to be) 

Be aware that I really use to care 

I'm no grocer of despair, in fact I'm lighter than the air 

And you're so young, so wrong, so so long 

Epitaph, a hostage to his craft 

His talent down the drain 

Spent his whole life on the train 

(Just to get out of the rain) 

Rain came down and washed away my youth 

You thought that it would last 

You thought it was the truth 

But you're so young, so wrong, so so long 

I read your book and I stole your look 

And now it's sad how much like dad 

You are a star who's burning out 

No doubt, you burned out long ago 

You know, you once stole the show 

But now you steal my youth 

Just to keep yourself alive, you are me at thirty five 

I thought it best not to hold him to my breast 

And say, sunshine, I'm not the only one who's dying 

(Everything's going to be fine) 

Fine, instead I let it all go to my head 

I leaned across and said I too thought my should was dead 

But I was young, I was wrong, I grew up, I wrote this song 

You're so young, you're so wrong, so, so long
