I wanted to tell you
this boy is growing up
I wanted to show you
I'm not always down on my luck

I wanted to give you
just a glimmer of hope
I wanted to tell you
but I guess I choked

'Cause me and my head high
Crossing the line
Me and my soul fly
But I'm back just in time
Well you're only young twice

I wanted to tell you
it's not a hollow heart
I wanted to show you
there's still a spark

I wanted to stand still
long enough
I wanted to show you
but it just didn't come off

'Cause me and my head high
Crossing the line
Me and my soul fly
But I'm back just in time
Well you're only young twice

Me and my head high
Crossing the line
Me and my soul fly
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back just in time

Well, you're only young twice
