Shoreline lyrics

Ever since i was eight or nine I've been standing on the shoreline Always waiting For something lasting Loose your hunger, you loose your way Get confused and you fade away Oh this town Kills you when you are young Oh this town Kills you when you are young I'm not the boy i used to be This town has got the youth of me All eyes turn hollow From the work of sorrow Standing on the paving By the office building They've got so much to do Never time for you We are shadows Oh we're shadows Shadows in the alley You die when you're young You die when you're young You die when you're young
