Hey
Are we wasting time?
Maybe
Good
Then let's waste it right
You said
“Come on, we're wasting our youth”
I said
“Since when did youth have a due date?”
You stared at me like I'd missed the point
Then grabbed my sleeve and said, “Just move”
No plans, no map, no reason why
Just one more train beneath the evening sky
You call this youth like everyone should know
I don't
But fine
Let's go
She keeps a list of things that youth should be
Late trains, summer rain, ridiculous dreams
Rooftop sunsets, pictures out of frame
A hundred little moments she can name
He couldn't care less what they call these days
Hands in his pockets, looking half awake
“If you're having fun, isn't that enough?”
She says, “You really don't get it.”
He says, “So what?”
Funny how the brightest laugh
Can hide the deepest cut
Funny how the quiet ones
Have already said too much
Maybe we're all carrying something
We never learned to name
Still
Tomorrow comes anyway
So fill it up, fill it up
Every empty space
With stupid jokes
And after-school mistakes
We don't need a perfect youth
We just need today
Scars and all
We're living anyway
Fill it up, fill it up
Whatever's missing inside
If this is youth
Then let's waste it right
No need to know what comes next
Come on, we're not done yet
Our empty days are ours to fill
One laughs louder when the room gets cold
One acts fearless so nobody knows
One reaches out for everything she missed
One turns away like none of it exists
One never learned what youth should mean
So he watches everyone else and thinks
Maybe this strange, ridiculous mess
Isn't so bad
Maybe this is it
Brightness can become a scar
Laughter can become one too
Awkward hands and careless words
Can hide what we've been through
We don't have to erase it
We don't have to make it right
Just don't pretend
It isn't there tonight
So fill it up, fill it up
Every empty space
With stupid jokes
And after-school mistakes
We don't need a perfect youth
We just need today
Scars and all
We're living anyway
Fill it up, fill it up
Whatever's missing inside
If this is youth
Then let's waste it right
No need to know what comes next
Come on, we're not done yet
Our empty days are ours to fill
Maybe your smile was how you survived
Maybe my silence kept me alive
Maybe we learned the wrong way to heal
But a wound doesn't make these days less real
We don't need to bury the pain
We don't need to become it either
Leave a little room inside
For tomorrow
For each other
For something stupid
We haven't tried yet
Empty?
So what?
There's still room
Missing something?
Then find it
Got a wound?
Yeah
We all do
But we're still here
So
What are we doing tomorrow?
Fill it up, fill it up
Every empty space
With stupid jokes
And after-school mistakes
We don't need a perfect youth
We just need today
Scars and all
We're living anyway
Fill it up, fill it up
Let the whole world pass us by
We'll miss the train
And call it a good night
No need to know what comes next
Come on, we're not done yet
Our empty days are ours to fill
Our empty hearts still have some room
Our broken parts are living too
So fill it up
Fill it up
This youth is ours to choose!
“So… we're doing youth now?”
“That's the plan.”
“Okay. But what does youth even taste like?”
“…Are you serious?”
“Someone please explain it to him.”
“Sweet and sour, apparently.”
“Why would anyone eat that?”
“THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS!”
