Not As Old As You Think - Paper Aeroplanes

Saw your picture by the mirror

Your eyes were brighter from far away you said

Since you joined us since the circus

You'd lost a purpose and wilder ways with us till

Underneath the surface down beneath the dust

In there lies all that you've lost

You're not as old as you think

You're not as afraid as it seems

It's not as hard to be perfect

It's even less to believe

Not just imaginary people

Living love songs and dreams

Still meaning to remember and capture the scene

You're not as old as you think

Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it

A magazine says your life's wasted

But you can save it with beauty creams they don't know

These lines and spaces across our faces are

Maps and memories of where we've been

Don't let them prey upon you don't believe the hype

Don't let it weigh on your minds

You're not as old as you think

You're not as afraid as it seems

It's not as hard to be perfect

It's even less to believe

Not just imaginary people

Living love songs and dreams

Still meaning to remember and capture the scene

You're not as old as you think

Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it

You've got a body of a summertime

You're not a number in a chorus line

You're out of prison but you still have some time

You're not as old as you think

You're not as afraid as it seems

It's not as hard to be perfect

It's even less to believe

Not just imaginary people

Living love songs and dreams

Still meaning to remember and capture the scene

You're not as old as you think

Just don't let it take a lifetime to realize it to realize it

Not as old as you think

So don't let it think a lifetime
