The Disappearance of My Youth - The Mary Onettes

Into the room we disappear again

Fifteen hours of waiting there

Pictures of you when you’re young and real

It’s the disappearance of my youth

Wishing for life to go backwards forever

Wishing that I could get closer still

I hold you in my dreams like you did

It’s the disappearance of my youth

It’s the disappearance of my youth

You lived your life like a shadow and that’s how it breaks

I can’t stop thinking I want those years to be ahead

To be ahead

Walking to the kitchen in the night

Slow steps cause the waiting hurts

In my dreams it’s me who’s fading

It’s the disappearance of my youth

I keep words on my tongue forever

Hesitating to take your hand

In the morning you will not be here

Still I hesitate to make a move

I just don’t see it happening to me

You live your life like a shadow and that’s how it breaks

You can’t stop thinking you want those years to be ahead

To be ahead

It’s the disappearance of my youth
