lyrics

Love is a fire
Love is a train
That you can’t extinguish
And you cannot tame

There’s no use in fighting it or standing in the way
Love is a young man’s game

When I was younger my heart was on my sleeve
Like a red badge of courage exposing underneath
And though it got broken it never seemed to fade
That’s why love is a young man’s game

Not long ago I was getting stronger
Not long ago the days seemed so long
And now I find it’s just easier to stay here
Easier than finding another way

Because love is a young man’s game

The older I get the less I seem to understand
I placed all my bets on whether I can love again
On whether I can love again

Love is a fire that burned me up so bright
Love is a train car that’s rusted shut up tight
And I’m just an old man who’s forgotten how to change
So love became a young man’s game
