You'll always seek perfection
But be satisfied by truth
And you always know the wisdom
Of the path you did not choose
May you know how beautiful was the road that chose you
And we'll grow closer to heaven every moment we're together

And you hold on tight
You hold on to your youth
Hold on tight
Just hold on to your youth
May you know it's never over 'til your spirit says it's through
The hardest thing to break sometimes
Is the easiest to lose

Now there are some days
They gonna promise to be better than days before
There are some days
You won't know what to do
So you go on scourin' every clue
And every open door says
The hardest things to find sometimes
Are the meaningest to you

Hold on tight
Just hold on to your youth
Hold on tight
Just hold on to your youth
May you know it's never over 'til your spirit says it's through
The hardest thing to break sometimes
Is the easiest to lose

As we grow farther and farther from perfection
I'll stand by you
And if you finally have no direction
Maybe that's okay, too

We may never stop parading, no
No matter how soaked
I bet you wise, wise, wise philosophers
You never stopped tellin' dirty jokes
And you know it's never over til your spirit says it's through
The hardest thing to break sometimes
Is the easiest to lose

So hold on tight
Just hold on to your youth
Hold on tight
Just hold on to your youth
You know it's never over 'til your spirit says it's through
The hardest thing to break sometimes
Is the easiest to lose

Y'know, the hardest thing to break sometimes
Is the easiest to lose
