  • When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
    Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed
    'Til the second round
    When I grow old, the sun will cope
    Shining on every youth stain, youth stain
    Never settling down

    And no wonder
    I keep you close
    You're the water
    To quench my throat
    And if I never
    Let you go
    Will you keep me young
    Keep
    Me young

    When I grow old, my weathered soul
    And memories recluse, elusive
    Help me take them out
    So keep me young and call my bluffs
    And help me out when you say, you say
    There's no rules foretold

    Say I'm stronger
    And keep me close
    And be the water
    And test my cold
    And if I never
    Let you go
    Will you keep me young
    Keep
    Me young

    Oh, when my heart stops beating
    And my blood turns cold, and oh
    When my heart stops beating
    And my breath won't flow, and oh
    When my heart stops beating
    When you go, oh no, I know

    Oh, when my heart stops beating
    And my blood turns cold, and oh
    When my heart stops beating
    And my breath won't flow, and oh
    When my heart stops beating
    When you go, oh no, I

    When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
    But just as long as you stay, you stay
    I found a way out Writer/s: Jack Garratt
