Born Too Young

When you’re born too young
From a cold hand thrown
And you tumble and roll up to a door that’s not your own
And your heartbeats are too urgent
Every breath you take rumbles in your lungs
Trying to avoid suffocation when you’re born too young

When you’re born too young
You arrive too late
And you land your life on the wrong side of the gate
Heroics will be helpful but no medals will be hung
Around the neck of any rag tag hero who was born too young

When you’re born too young
When you’re born too young

We were born too young
In a field too far
I long to cup your cheeks but I don’t know where you are
And we collided at such high speed and both our bells were rung
Some bells never stop ringing when you’re born too young

When you’re born too young
When you’re born too young
