James Taylor – Never Die Young Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree, thanks Jimmy. I've often wondered what James was getting at with some of these lyrics. You've helped put it into better perspective.

As someone who has seen two good friends marry and raise families, this song hits all too close to home. I've lost my friends to someone else. They live far away now and I don't see them anymore, though we still keep in touch here and there. It's not like it used to be, hanging out every weekend.
If I may offer another perspective on the following:

"Oh yes other hearts were broken, yeah the dreams ran dry": So much for the dreams of shenanigans and road trips and parties with them (The good times together). I have to move on now as they have. Priorities have changed. "Hold them up": Despite your deepest sadness and/or hate of this new person they feel strongly for, be happy for them and wish them the best. True love is hard to find.

It's one of the hardest lessons in life to learn.

Sail on.
