So Young

All that I need is the air that I breathe,
a little breakfast in bed in the morning.
Well, I waited so long for the chance to go wrong,
and I left my regrets at the corner.
Oh, the rites of spring turned to nights in jail,
so I crossed my heart and I jumped my bail.
I'm so young, oh, oh, so young,
sure as the moon is bright, I was born tonight;
so young.
Find me a crowd where the band is loud,
and my drunken ballet is in fashion.
I'll live 'til I die, baby, I'll never know why,
my only crime was passion.
If the train's on time I will make my break,
it was all too cool, it was all a mistake.
I'm so young, oh, oh, so young,
sure as the moon is bright, I was born tonight;
so young,
sure as the moon is bright, I was born tonight;
so young.
Well, the rites of spring turned to nights in jail,
so I crossed my heart and I jumped my bail.
I'm so young, oh, oh, so young,
sure as the moon is bright, I was born tonight;
so young,
sure as the moon is bright, I was born tonight;
so young.
I will dance like a fool, won't be afraid to laugh,
I'll make everything matter and I'll believe that
everything lasts,
I'll see love, breathe, and I'll never wake up,
and I'll change everyday and I'll taste every drop;
I'm so young.
Oh, oh
So young, oh, oh, so young,
sure as the moon is bright, I was born tonight;
I'm so young,
sure as the moon is bright, I was born tonight;
