since i was young (with kesha)

Nobody knows what it means

You just go and you hope that you'll grow, that's life

My whole life philosophy

Oh, it changes with the tide

I was like sixteen

Smoking a cigarette for the first time

Trying so hard to impress some guy

Or some girl

I forget

Twenty-nine

I never thought I'd be twenty-nine

The years just follow me

Some nights I still don't understand it

Since I was young

I always tried to cover up

Who I was and who I loved

Then I got older

Since I was young

I always thought that twenty-five

Would be the last year of my life

Then I got sober

And now I'm more myself than I ever was

I'm happier than I ever was

And I've learned to let someone love me for me

Oh, since I was young

Always been the weird one out

Fucking up that little town

And I've been this way since I was young

Babe, ain't it so bitter-sweet

Knowing all of the beautiful things will go?

So I wanna feel this shit deep

Every feeling, every heartbreak, every high and every low

I was like eighteen

City of Angels, drinking codeine

Swear I saw a demon in my back-seat

Oh, those Laurel Canyon nights

Now I'm twenty-nine

I never thought I'd be still alive

Someone's watching out for me

Maybe I'll never understand it

Since I was young

I always tried to cover up

Who I was and who I loved

Then I got older

Since I was young

I always thought that twenty-five

Would be the last year of my life

Then I got sober

And now I'm more myself than I ever was

I'm happier than I ever was

And I've learned to let someone love me for me

Oh, since I was young

Always been the weird one out

Fucking up that little town

And I've been this way since I was young

Since I was young

Me, I'm still me, I'm still me

Who I was, who I've been, who I'll always be

Since I was young

Since I was young

Yeah, yeah

Since I was young, since I was young, since I was young

Since I was young
