lyrics

I thought I had it bad when I was thirteen
Everyone was terrified and mean
Pushing for the goals that our parents made
The more I pushed the more I found I stayed

Going nowhere fast
Figured my self out at last
Now I get it all
Now I get it all again

Join a band and play guitar 
And play it loud it isn’t hard
Being young is fun the second time around

Have emotions, have a blast
And feel your heart start beating fast
Being young is fun the second time around

I don’t know why it took so long to learn
The ins and outs of why my heart would yearn
Looking at her on the tv screen
And knowing that it never would be me

Took a little time
Till I crossed the starting line
Now I get it all
Now I get it all again

Join a band and play guitar 
And play it loud it isn’t hard
Being young is fun the second time around

Have emotions, have a blast
And feel your heart start beating fast
Being young is fun the second time around

Every step I know I could just fall
But it’s better than not moving at all
Cause now I got my chance
Too late for the high school dance but

Join a band and play guitar 
And play it loud it isn’t hard
Being young is fun the second time around

Have emotions, have a blast
And feel your heart start beating fast
Being young is fun the second time around

You won’t have a Sweet Sixteen
But you sure as hell can make a scene
Being young is fun the second time around

Even though it makes you cry
You gotta wipe your eyes and try
Being young is fun the second time around
