Side Effects of Youth - Islander

Hey, I get it

The sun has never seemed so bright

The colors never seemed so loud

And there’s so many pretty girls, I get it

But don’t forget who you are and who you were

'Cause if you put passion before principle

You’ll lose, you’ll lose

Even if you win

You’ll lose, you’ll lose

Even if you win

It’s just the side effects of youth

That make you do those foolish things you do

Hey, surfs up

Life comes and goes in such a blur

Just don’t forget who you are and who you were

Never put passion before principle

Who you are.

and who you were…

'Cause even if you win you’ll lose

It’s just the side effects of youth

That make you do those foolish things you do

So don’t let the sin pull you away

Don’t fall in love with a foolish game

We are the strong ones, we have our sight

Our feet are quick to move to do what we like

So let’s drop our passions and our lustful ways

And find some meaning in these last days

We swim through poison.

Our brains aren’t bad

YET

We are the visionaries

Oh… am I getting scary?

This is the realest of the real

This is something you can feel

Something tangible

Something so obtainable

And yet so far away

Farther than Mars

And shooting stars

And flying cars

So when you gonna learn kid?

Huh?

When you gonna learn kid?

These are the side effects of you!

I get it
