They always told me
Be really good or just give up
And so I told them

Giving up was never enough

We are a dying breed

Stand strong on our two feet and
We keep it coming and we hit the ground running
Never knew better when enough is enough and


Don't stray too far
From your dreams

Don't wait for anything or anybody

Maybe I'm alone, maybe I'm not sorry

Yeah, it's pretty good but it ain't half of what it could be
I keep my head high, but inside this haunts me
And every time I come home, why do I feel empty?


We're on the edge
We're breaking down again

And if we make it out of this town,
We won't even turn our heads
Forever young

Forever has begun
We built it up, we tore it down
We burn it, we burn it straight to the ground


We built this, and I made this
For you, my brother, you my brother

And we'll make it, I swear it
To you, my brother, you my brother



Look how far we've come
And found and lost

Nothing can compare
Los Angeles
Is calling me

You can not compare

We're on the edge

We're breaking down again
And if we make it out of this town,
We won't even turn our heads

Forever young
Forever has begun
We built it up, we tore it down

We burn it, we burn it straight to the ground

Keep my head high, but there's a hole in it

And I try and I try, but god damn
It's like a wall of water, I'm afraid of the sea
They know the name, but they don't know me


Keep my head high, but god damn (x3)
Please, no, god, don't take me home


Never needed something more than this
All I can do is believe in this and

The more I try, the more it hurts
To know this is who I am, but you know what's worse?


If no one believed, maybe I wouldn't either
If no one stepped up, maybe I'd back down
If no one grabbed me by the neck, Would I have ever tried to make them proud?


I swore I would make there someday
And have our song play the pretty girls' DJs

But all of them don't know my name
So for now, I let the music play


I swore I would make there someday
