Well, I heard an old man say

Youth's lost on the young

If I'd have known what I know today

I would have lived my life like a smoking gun

But, I saved it up for a rainy day

And I'm still waitin' for that day to come

You only know that you had it, when it's gone.

But, it's something I can't say

Though it's there on the tip of my tongue

It's something I can't change

For you can't stop a setting sun

And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs

But it's something I can't say

Though it's on the tip of my tongue

It's on the tip of my tongue.

Well, I heard a young man say

The truth's lost on the old

All I have is how I feel today

No matter what I'm taught and what I'm told

So I save it up, for a rainy day

Even though, that day may never come

And I won't know that I had it til, its gone, no...

But, it's something I can't say

Though it's there on the tip of my tongue

It's something I can't change, no

For you can't stop the rising sun

And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs

But, it's something I can't say

Though, it's on the tip of my tongue

Oh, oh, oh on the tip of my tongue

Hey yeah, on the tip of my tongue (whoa)

Oh...

On the tip of my tongue.
