Fifty for a While Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wanna save 'em from their heartbreaks You gotta let 'em make their own mistakes You could prepare 'em for the world you knew But now you haven't got a damned clue [Verse 2] Take a minute and realize How every negative is amplified It's a prison, we should go outside The algorithim isn't on our side [Chorus] I can't expect you to know I'll protect you No matter where you trek to, I'll come collect you I promise I will be wherever you need me That's a lifetime guarantee and you get all that for free [Verse 3] I never was spiritual Now everything is virtual I'm trying to write a simple song Thought it was easy, I was dead wrong [Verse 4] Somebody hit me to it somehow I get the drift if it's real loud It's pretty nifty when you're young and proud But I've been fifty for a while now [Chorus] I can't expect you to know I'll protect you No matter where you trek to, I'll come collect you I promise I will be wherever you need me That's a lifetime guarantee and you get all that for free [Bridge] I'm not gonna even know if it hurts When my heart stops beating I'll be busy letting go Making sure that you won't be needing me Oh, you won't be needing me [Verse 5] I know we're never gonna turn back time Can't put the genie back and oh, I've tried One nation indivisible Is two nations and they're miserable [Verse 6] We're more connected than we've ever been But more selective of the things we're seein' We're never gonna change the way we think If every argument's a slam-dink [Chorus] I can't expect you to know I'll protect you No matter where you trek to, I'll come collect you I promise I will be wherever you need me That's a lifetime guarantee and you get all that for free [Outro] From me, you'll see .
