So Young, So Wrong, So Long Lyrics

This teenage kid, I almost ran and hid
When he says to me," I recognize you from T.V."
(You're all that I don't want to be)
Be aware that I really used to care
I'm no grocer of despair, in fact I'm lighter than the air
And you're so young, so wrong, so long
Epitath: A hostage to his craft
Talent down the drain, spent his whole life on the train
(Just to get out of the rain)
Rain came down, and washed away my youth
I thought that it would last, I thought it was the truth
But you're so young, so wrong, so so long
I read your book and I stole your look and now it's sad
How much like Dad you are a star who's burning out,
No doubt you burned out long ago
You know you once stole the show
But now you steal my youth just to
Keep yourself alive you are me at thirty-five

I thought it best not to hold him to my breast
And say, "Sunshine, you're not the only one who's dying"
(Everything's going to be fine)
Fine, instead, I let it all go to my head
I leaned across and said, "I too thought my soul was dead"
But I was young, I was wrong,
I grew up, I wrote this song
So young, so wrong, so long
