Foxes-YouthLyric annotation analysis in the

form of pictures

They didn't warn me

When I was running wildThe dragons breathing fire

In the backyard at night

We live in circles

And it's so hard to breatheMaybe the same old fears

What have we here?

Don't bring me downWith you

Now I'm just chasing timeWith a thousand dreams I'm

holding heavyAnd as we cross the line these

fading beats have all been severed

Don't tell me our youth is running out

It's only just begun

If I asked you for good newsWould you smile and turn

away?

It's like a bad dreamThat is too afraid to wake

There are many among usAnd we're changing all the time

Maybe the same old fearsWhat have we here?Don't bring me down

And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severedDon't tell me our youth is running

out

It's only just begun

Now I'm just chasing timeWith a thousand dreams I'm holding

heavyAnd as we cross the line these

fading beats have all been severed

Don't tell me our youth is running outIt's only just begun
