This is the song that Great Britain performed for the talent show on the last day of RYLA 2012. It is not a fraction of how amazing the original was with everyone singing and the guitar and piano. Regardless, this song reminds me of all the amazing memories I made at this conference. Thank you for making this the most wonderful experience of my life. Double I love you's and double rock on's!
Originally performed by the amazing Axis of Awesome!
lyrics
My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I’m sure
People killing people dying
Children hurting you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
And I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait
I’m yours
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brain
I knew I wouldn’t forget you
If I could, then I would, I’d go wherever you will go
And can you feel the love tonight
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
Cause I’m your biggest fan
I’ll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
I can’t live
With or without you
Pictures of you
Pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
And she will be loved
She will be loved
I come from a land down under
Take on me (When I come around)
Take me on (When I come around)
I’ll be gone (When I come around)
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it
Can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
In my head
I see you all over me
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy
In my head
Cause you’re so beautiful
So dang beautiful
It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
It’s my life
It’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
