Retired, hopeless wonder
Spilling his thoughts onto an LP love letter
Your last goodbye to a forgotten generation
Spending your money without hesitation

Live fast only to die young
We'll remember you for the last song you sung.

Shot to stardom on an ounce of success
Delivering the sound only you detest
In the news for the week you're on the scene
They capture you as you lose the dream

I remember you for the eponymous
While your sophomore sits collecting dust
The more days you age, the less we know
Of how good you were at playing shows

Live fast only to die young
We'll remember you for the last song you sung.
