๐ Lyrics
You wanna save 'em from their heartbreaks
You gotta let 'em make their own mistakes
You could prepare 'em for the world you knew
But now you haven't got a damn clue
Take a minute and realize
How every negative is amplified
It's a prison, we should go outside
The algorithm isn't on our side
I can't expect you
To know I'll protect you
No matter where you trek to
I'll come collect you
I'll come, yes, I'll be
Wherever you need me
That's a lifetime guarantee
And you get all that for free
I never was spiritual
Now everything is virtual
I'm trying to write a simple song
Thought it was easy, I was dead wrong
Somebody hit me to it somehow
I get the drift if it's real loud
It's pretty nifty when you're young and proud
But I've been 50 for a while now
I can't expect you
To know I'll protect you
No matter where you trek to
I'll come collect you
I'll come, yes, I'll be
Wherever you need me
That's a lifetime guarantee
And you get all that for free
I'm not gonna even know if it hurts
When my heart stops beating
I'll be busy letting go
Making sure that you won't be needing me
No, you won't be needing me
And no, we're never gonna turn back time
Can't put the genie back, know I've tried
One nation indivisible
Is two nations in the miserable
We're more connected than we've ever been
But more selective of the things we're seeing
We're never gonna change the way we think
If every argument's a slam-ding
I can't expect you (I can't expect you)
To know I'll protect you (to know I'll protect you)
No matter where you trek to (no matter where you trek to)
I'll come collect you (I will come collect you)
I'll come, yes, I will be (I'll come, yes, I'll be)
Wherever you need me (wherever you need me)
That's a lifetime guarantee (that's a lifetime guarantee)
And you get all that for free
From me, you'll see
You gotta let 'em make their own mistakes
You could prepare 'em for the world you knew
But now you haven't got a damn clue
Take a minute and realize
How every negative is amplified
It's a prison, we should go outside
The algorithm isn't on our side
I can't expect you
To know I'll protect you
No matter where you trek to
I'll come collect you
I'll come, yes, I'll be
Wherever you need me
That's a lifetime guarantee
And you get all that for free
I never was spiritual
Now everything is virtual
I'm trying to write a simple song
Thought it was easy, I was dead wrong
Somebody hit me to it somehow
I get the drift if it's real loud
It's pretty nifty when you're young and proud
But I've been 50 for a while now
I can't expect you
To know I'll protect you
No matter where you trek to
I'll come collect you
I'll come, yes, I'll be
Wherever you need me
That's a lifetime guarantee
And you get all that for free
I'm not gonna even know if it hurts
When my heart stops beating
I'll be busy letting go
Making sure that you won't be needing me
No, you won't be needing me
And no, we're never gonna turn back time
Can't put the genie back, know I've tried
One nation indivisible
Is two nations in the miserable
We're more connected than we've ever been

I can't expect you (I can't expect you)
To know I'll protect you (to know I'll protect you)
No matter where you trek to (no matter where you trek to)
I'll come collect you (I will come collect you)
I'll come, yes, I will be (I'll come, yes, I'll be)
Wherever you need me (wherever you need me)
That's a lifetime guarantee (that's a lifetime guarantee)
And you get all that for free
From me, you'll see
