Too Old to Die Young的詞曲作者是Alan Moore,編曲是Eduardo Villanueva。以下是歌曲的部分歌詞:
我永遠不會停下, 遠離這個充滿危險的世界, 這就是我存在的理由, 為了那點點微弱的夢想。
但我總是無法找到答案, 我這麼努力地掙扎,卻總是沒法讓它好過去。
但我不想聽他們告誡我, 我這麼多年過來已經看過太多死別, 但我永遠不會停下, 我還沒好好看看世界, 我不想就這樣離開。
我要勇於面對我的命運, 哪怕最後只是一場空夢, 但我永遠不會停下, 因為我不想這樣過一生。
當你老去,死亡卻永遠不遠, 你應該活出你的色彩, 哪怕最後只是虛無的夢。
以下是完整版的歌詞:
Chorus:
Too old to die young, but too young to know what to do
Too old to die young, but I'm still looking for a way out
Too old to die young, but I'm still living in the dark
Too old to die young, but I'm still waiting for the break of day
Verse 1:
Too many people lost their lives, they didn't have a chance to live
I'm still here, I'm still trying to find my way through the night
But I'm tired, I'm feeling so alone
I don't want to hear the same old lies
I've been here before, I've been fighting this war
But I'm done with all this pain and doubt
And I don't want to die young
Chorus:
Too old to die young, but too young to know what to do
Too old to die young, but I'm still looking for a way out
Too old to die young, but I'm still living in the dark
Too old to die young, but I'm still waiting for the break of day
Bridge:
Life is a game, we play it with our lives
We all have our own story, we all have our own songs to sing
But when the night falls and the music stops
Will you be standing or will you be left in the dark?
Don't give up hope, there's a tomorrow waiting for you
Even if the road ahead is full of mountains and valleys and storms, keep moving on
Too old to die young
Chorus:
Too old to die young, I know that it might sound wrong
But it's time to start living my life and not just dreaming along.
Too old to die young, but I'm still waiting for a better day.
Too old to die young, so let me make the most of every day.
Let me show you what it means to be too old to die young.
Let me show you what it means to live your life.
To feel the sun on your face and dance in the rain.
To be too old to die young.
To be too old to die young.
To be too old to die young.
To be alive.
To be free.
To feel alive.
I am alive.
And I won't stop.
Too old to die young.
