[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh, woah, on the tip of my tongue
Hey, on the tip of my tongue, woah
Oh, on the tip of my tongue
