Quarter-Life Crisis


T-Bone Burnett Lyrics

 

Quarter-Life Crisis by T-Bone Burnett


So I've been hearing
"You're not really old"
And youth is something
The young cannot hold
And I remember when I heard the news
Yeah, 'til then I thought I sang the blues
(Chorus)
Cause it's a quarter-life, a quarter-life
A quarter-life crisis -
And I don't have what it takes to fight this, no, no, no
It's a quarter-life, a quarter-life, some quarter-life crisis
Can you give me what I need to right this?
No!
An old friend is long gone
With his young man's disease
I was standing tall
Now I'm down on my knees
We stare up at sunsets
Till they burn away
Oh and oh it's been so, so long
Since I got down to pray
(Bridge)
And the sun goes up and the sun goes down
But it's not enough to keep 'em around
And the sun goes up and the sun goes down for me
For you
And me
(Chorus)
So I've been hearing
"You're not really old"
And youth is something
The young cannot hold
But that don't mean
The rain is worth a try
We line the clouds for all we're worth
And then we say goodbye
