John Elton - You Can Make History (Young Again) LYRICS

I can feel the time closing in
I can feel the years crawling through my skin
And if I doubt myself
I can count on the rain
To cover the tears of this aging game

But I can count on you
To play your part
I don't miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind
I know I can
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand

[Chorus]
Oh babe you can make history young again
You could rewrite it, you could decide
The things that should or shouldn't have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe you could make history young again

I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
When the world shuts down
I can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears

But I lost nothing
When I gained you
You just blew me away with yesterday's news
And when you run your fingers
Down my spine
It's like throwing a switch on the hands of time

Chorus

[Bridge]
Ancient minds, ancient lives
Got a way of comin' round
If I knew then what I know now
I'd find a way back, back in time
I'd make it back to you somehow
