| I used to sleep away the mornings
|
| Couldn’t wait till the sun went down
|
| The weekend was always calling
|
| I couldn’t wait to get my self down town
|
| Mum and dad would try to reach me
|
| I was too busy to take their calls
|
| I’d say «I could talk tomorrow» but I never did and that’s nothing new at all
|
| But those days are long gone now
|
| And you wake up a little older, your baby’s lying on your shoulder and just
|
| like that everything has changed
|
| You can’t stop time, days will always roll on by and before you know it you
|
| realise that nothing stays the same
|
| If I could tell my younger self I’d say, don’t wish it all away
|
| From getting muddy in the backyard, to letting me teach you how to play guitar
|
| I’ll be there when your heart breaks, and watch you take a drive in your first
|
| car
|
| I often think if you’ll be like me, pull out of the gate when you turn eighteen
|
| You probably think its going slowly, but don’t move too fast 'cause things will
|
| all work out
|
| But I’m that now
|
| And you wake up a little older, your teenager crying on your shoulder and just
|
| like that everything has changed
|
| You can’t stop time, days will always roll on by and before you know it you
|
| realise that nothing stays the same
|
| If I could tell my younger self I’d say, don’t wish it all away
|
| Cause just like that, it’s moments you can’t get back
|
| So don’t wish it all away, yeah
|
| And you wake up a little older, you’re hoping that your kids come over and just
|
| like that everything has changed
|
| You can’t stop time, days will always roll on by and before you know it you
|
| realise that nothing stays the same
|
| If I could tell my younger self I’d say, even though life goes so fast,
|
| its all okay
|
| But don’t wish it all away, all away
|
| Don’t wish it all away |
