  • Look back in silence
    The cradle of your whole life
    There in the distance
    Losing its greatest pride
    Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred, why?
    Where did the bow break?
    It happened before your time

    And there were people there
    Lovely as you'd ever care
    Tonight, baby, you can start again
    Laughing in the open air
    Have yourself another dream
    Tonight, maybe we can start again

    Only the young can break away, break away
    Lost when the wind blows, on your own
    Only the young can break away, break away
    Lost when the wind blows, on your own

    Mother, it's cold here
    Father, thy will be done
    Thunder and lightning are crashing down
    They got me on the run
    Direct me to the sun
    Redemption, keep my covers clean tonight
    Baby, we can start again

    Only the young can break away, break away
    Lost when the wind blows, on your own
    Only the young can break away, break away
    Lost when the wind blows, on your own

    And the sun will shine again
    And the sun will shine again
    Are you looking for a sign?
    Or are you caught up in the lie?

    Only the young can break away, break away
    Lost when the wind blows, on your own
    Only the young can break away, break away
    Lost when the wind blows, on your own

    Only the young can
    Lost when the wind blows
    Only the young can
    Lost when the wind blows Writer/s: BRANDON FLOWERS
