Young Again by The Bergamot Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy, I had a vision
Of dreams that would become of me
My late-night adventures, my sweet youth surrender
Learning who I'd rather be
Well, I held on to my grandpa's clock
Gave it all that I had
Life was an ocean and I was the captain
Set on a journey to sea
[Chorus]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
Well, I want to be young again
[Verse 2]
Now that I'm older, I'm not too much stronger
And there are scenes I want to see
Go dancing in Nashville and backpack the Rockies
Hold on to everything
Fall asleep with New York City
Cali is calling my name
When North Carolina meets old West Virginia
Atlanta, please hold my hand
[Chorus]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
And now that I'm older, I want to be young again
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
Well, I want to be young again
[Verse 3]
There was a time when I was much younger
But now that's well behind me
'Cause years turn to days and days turn to hours
Lines in the reflections I see
On the South Shore outside Chicago
Reality starts to creep in
Now that I'm older, the magic glows lower
The old boat I struggle to see
[Bridge]
One Fourth of July, it all sank in
The world that I'd been living in
It washed up there right on the shore
The world I'd seen, I wanted nothing more
Than to take the hand of Miss Liberty
And dance one last dance, just her and me
We'll make our footsteps on the shore
All I cared was to have one moment more
[Chorus]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young
Well, I want to be young again
Want to be young again
I want to be young again
Want to be young again
I want to be young again
Want to be young again
I want to be young again
I want to be young again
[Outro]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
When I was a young boy, I had a vision
Of dreams that would become of me
My late-night adventures, my sweet youth surrender
Learning who I'd rather be
Well, I held on to my grandpa's clock
Gave it all that I had
Life was an ocean and I was the captain
Set on a journey to sea
[Chorus]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
Well, I want to be young again
[Verse 2]
Now that I'm older, I'm not too much stronger
And there are scenes I want to see
Go dancing in Nashville and backpack the Rockies
Hold on to everything
Fall asleep with New York City
Cali is calling my name
When North Carolina meets old West Virginia
Atlanta, please hold my hand
[Chorus]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
And now that I'm older, I want to be young again
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
Well, I want to be young again
[Verse 3]
There was a time when I was much younger
But now that's well behind me
'Cause years turn to days and days turn to hours
Lines in the reflections I see
On the South Shore outside Chicago
Reality starts to creep in
Now that I'm older, the magic glows lower
The old boat I struggle to see

The world I'd seen, I wanted nothing more
Than to take the hand of Miss Liberty
And dance one last dance, just her and me
We'll make our footsteps on the shore
All I cared was to have one moment more
[Chorus]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young
Well, I want to be young again
Want to be young again
I want to be young again
Want to be young again
I want to be young again
Want to be young again
I want to be young again
I want to be young again
[Outro]
'Cause I always wanted to be older
But now that I'm older, I want to be young again
