She was only twenty-one   But so much older than she's now   Now she passed the twenty-four   I guess it's time to say goodbye      Here's the new, here's the real   Here's the life you like to live   Now here's the new boy   Taking on the world tonight      When we met, she smelled like honey   When we kissed she tasted tears   Then for fourteen thousand seconds   We made love behind old fears      Here's the new, here's the real   Here's the life you wished you lived   Now here's the new boy   Taking on the world tonight      Take the words on your way   I don't waste the things I say   When in doubt, fuck the world   Forget all the things you've heard   Now here's the new boy   Taking on the world tonight, no      Why so sad? Don't you like my way of life?   I don't last forever, neither do the things we love   You are wise, this is now this is all the things I want   Everything around us is moving except time      She was only twenty-four   But so much younger than the past   We've laid all our troubles down   And now it's us against the rest      Here's the new, here's the real   Here's the life you like to live   Now here's the new boy   Taking on the world tonight      Take the words on your way   I don't waste the things I say   When in doubt, fuck the world   Forget all the things you've heard   Now here's the new boy   Taking on the world tonight, no
