  • (Perfect)

    New day rising, come close the blue blinds
    I'll be lying in my ocean of time

    I could dress as Arthur Lee
    Scrape my shoes the right way
    Maybe read Ulysses
    But it's a young man's game

    Dying fire, so tired of this place
    Not inspired, can't keep to this pace

    I could worry through each night
    Find something unique to say
    I could pass as erudite
    But it's a young man's game

    You should know
    You're my last hope

    I've been solving for the meaning of life
    No one tried before and likely I'm right

    Not too straight or too clean
    Like your borrowed blue bike
    I've been a rolling antique
    For all my life

    You should know
    You're my last hope

    I've been lucky as sin
    Not one thing in my way
    Just the arena I was in
    But it's a young man's game Writer/s: Robin Pecknold
