Optic Nerve Lyrics by Caesars

Youth Is Wasted on the Young

1998

It seems sometimes that it slips
And it slides away from me
The more I try, the less it fits
The less it fits inside my mind

I wanna catch, I wanna catch you
But I'm stumbling just like you
So won't you try to catch me
Just before I take the fall

And every time I'm hit
My flesh is right on the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

I catch a glimpse of the thoughts
Spinning around inside my mind
I'm looking for, for just one thing
To make me leave this place

And every time I'm hit
My flesh is right on the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

And every time I'm hit
My flesh is right on the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

I wanna catch, I wanna catch you
But I'm stumbling just like you
So won't you try to catch me
Just before I take the fall

And every time I'm hit
My flesh is right on the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

And every time I'm hit
My flesh is right on the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through
