Lyrics
Lemons for Lemonade
© 2013 Gatorlegs/Starburst
Our heads explode as we grow old and ecstasy draws near
But we're not afraid to cry when promise switches gears
Nothing stops the meltdown as the years fly by so fast
I won't grow old and I won't scold the princes of my past
(chorus)
Princes, princes of my past don't let my memories fade
The straws I grasp are now the last lemons for lemonade
End all birthdays, they're a haze I've given mine away
Princes, princes of my past giving lemons for lemonade
I grow younger year by year; soon I'll be less than one
Long ago I moved so slow and life was so much fun
Stumbling, bumbling life went on a circle round the sun
I won't grow old on youth I'm sold fitter now than twenty one
(chorus)
Princes, princes of my past don't let my memories fade
The straws I grasp are now the last lemons for lemonade
End all birthdays, they're a haze I've given mine away
Princes, princes of my past giving lemons for lemonade
Instrumental interlude
(chorus)
Princes, princes of my past don't let my memories fade
The straws I grasp are now the last lemons for lemonade
End all birthdays, they're a haze I've given mine away
Princes, princes of my past giving lemons for lemonade
