Impossible Youth

Peter Capaldi

Compositor: Peter Capaldi

Hands that can't stop shaking
Place the mirror on the shelf
She looks for signs of beauty
Never sees herself

Smoothes her dress of Oxfam tat
Then runs to find her boys
Running ragged in the town
Not a thing can bring them down
Watch them calling, calling
To the void

What you going to do
When you know the truth?
You're impossible youth

Watched him running through the blossoms
To the bus that quaked and roared
Opens up another un-read book
Dreams to his lover's door

They spill across the floorboards
They're so dangerous and fun
They're superhuman, ordinary
Don't want to hear your sad old story
Don't look at thеm
They're brightеr than the sun

What you going to do
When you know the truth?
Of impossible youth

Water so warm, so clear, so deep
It shrieks, it calls to you
You run, you spin, you take the leap

It's all that you can do
One breath, to last a life time
Now dive deep, dive deep

What you going to do
When you know the truth
Of impossible youth
