Lyrics for Winter Of Our Youth

So the question is, why doesn't he grow up? Why does he still behave as a child? How can we help him get rid of these Leftovers from childish behaviour? This is the winter of our youth, oh But I'm not there yet I've got nostalgia running through me And I don't like it Oh my, my, my, my Now I can almost taste it, taste it But I just hope we didn't waste it away I know the winter's getting colder But why, just 'cause we're a little older, do I relive it, I relive it all? I'm pedalling backwards even if I'm pedalling alone Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all It's 4 a.m., here comes the fear I'm not prepared yet And when we pick over the past We glorify it Oh my, my, my, my I hope I wasn't wasted, wasted And I hope I didn't drink it away I know the winter's getting colder But why, just 'cause we're a little older, do I relive it, I relive it all? I'm pedalling backwards even if I'm pedalling alone Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all I let myself bathe in the past for way, way, way too long And now it seems I've drunk too much to give you what you want I know the winter's getting colder But why, just 'cause we're a little older, do I relive it, I relive it all? I'm pedalling backwards even if I'm pedalling alone Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all I'm pedalling backwards even if I'm pedalling alone Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all
