Tip of My Tongue lyrics

Well, I heard an old man say,

'Youth's lost on the young.

If I had I known what I know today,

I would have lived my life like a smoking gun.

But I saved it up for a rainy day

and I'm still waiting for that day to come.

You only know that you had it when it's gone.

But it's something I can't say

though it's there on the tip of my tongue.

It's something I can't change

for you can't stop a setting sun.

And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs.

But it's something I can't say

though it's on the tip of my tongue.

It's on the tip of my tongue'.

Well, I heard a young man say,

'The truth's lost on the old.

All I have is how I feel today,

no matter what I'm told and what I'm told.

So I save it up for a rainy day

even though that day may never come.

And I won't know that I had it till it's gone, oh.

But it's something I can't say,

though it's there on the tip of my tongue.

It's something I can't change

for you can't stop the rising sun.

And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs.

It's something I can't say

though it's on the tip of my tongue'.

Oh, woah, on the tip of my tongue.

Hey, on the tip of my tongue, woah.

Oh, on the tip of my tongue.
