Since I Was Young (ft Kesha)

Nobody knows what it means
You just go when you hope that you grow, that’s life
My whole life philosophy
Oh, it changes with the tide
I was like 16 smokin’ a cigarette for the first time
Tryin’ so hard to impress some guy and some girl
I forget, 29 I’d never thought I’d be
29, the years just follow me
So who am I? I still don’t understand it

Since I was young
I always tried to cover up
Who I was and who I love
Then I got older
Since I was young
I always thought that 25
Would be the last year of my life
Then I got sober

Now I’m more myself than I ever was
I’m happier than I ever was
And I leant to let someone love me for me
Oh, since I was young
I’ve always been the weird one
Now fucking up that little town
And I’ve been this way since I was young

Babe, it is so bittersweet
Knowin’ all of the beautiful things will go
So I wanna feel this sink deep
Every feeling, every heartbreak, every high, and every low
I was like 18, city of angels, drinking codeine
So I saw demon in my backseat
Oh, all those laurel canyon nights
Now I’m 29, I’ve never thought I’d be (oh, no)
Still alive, someone’s watchin’ out for me (yeah, yeah)
Baby, I’ll never understand it

Since I was young
I always tried to cover up
Who I was and who I love
Then I got older (oh, I got older)
Since I was young
I always thought that 25
Would be the last year of my life
Then I got sober

Now I’m more myself than I ever was
I’m happier than I ever was
And I learnt to let someone love me for me (oh, oh)
Oh, since I was young (hey, hey)
I’ve always been the weird one
Now fucking up that little town
And I’ve been this way, since I was young

Woah, oh-oh-oh (ayy, yeah)
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Since I was young
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh
Me, I’m still me, I’m still me
Who I was, who I’ve been, who I’ll always be

Since I was young
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh (young, woah)
Since I was young
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh (yeah)
Woah, oh-oh-oh, oh
Since I was young, since I was young, since I was young
Since I was young
