lyrics

I can’t take it anymore, I’ve tried my best
Priorities have changed, the desire’s the same
I’ve gotten nowhere though I’ve touched a few
And I made my mark and then walked away
This is a young man’s game
This is a young man’s game
Throw caution to the wind with no money to spend
Set out on the road just to bare your soul
The bills are piling up and the crowd is thin
So you steel yourself just to keep on moving
This is a young man’s game
This is a young man’s game
I think about those who I strive to be
All the time I spent chasing after dreams
Do we continue on? Did we do enough?
Do we press record? Do we pull the plug?
This is a young man’s game
This is a young man’s game

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
