Brave Young Man Songtext
von Jared & the Mill

Going South on a North-bound train
(?)We saw the emptiness and nothing at our gains (?)
Pocketful of sand and gravel in my boots
I′m a brave young man, and I've got nothing left to lose

Giving more than what you′ve got can get you killed
But all the same I thrive on loneliness and thrills
I've taken shots that left me sleeping in the dust
I'm a brave young man, and I′ve got little more than lust

But I′ve travelled far away to places I've not been before
And I′ve lost words to say
Preaching to those who hate my tongue
I'm a man who′s brave and young


I've giddied (?) into darker things
Back when my head was strong but my mind was weak
(?)I′ve spoken out amongst a crowd of sleeping doves (?)
I'm a brave young man, but I don't know where I belong

But I′ve travelled far away to places I′ve not been before
And I've lost words to say
Preaching to those who hate my tongue
I′m a man who's brave and young

I′ve travelled far away to places I've not been before
And I′ve lost words to say
Preaching to those who hate my tongue
I'm a man who's brave and young

I′ve told myself that I′m a better man than most
But too my friends I'm as see-through as a ghost
They tell me what I need and beg me not to stay
But I′m a brave young man, and I've got nothing left to say
