Lyrics

[00:12.00] It's not time to make a change
[00:16.00] Just relax--take it easy
[00:19.00] You're still young--that's your fault
[00:23.00] There's so much you have to know
[00:26.00] Find a girl, settle down
[00:29.00] If you want, you can marry
[00:33.00] Look at me--I am old
[00:36.00] But I'm happy
[00:38.00]
[00:39.00] I was once like you are now
[00:43.00] And I know that it's not easy
[00:46.00] To become when you've found
[00:49.00] Something going on
[00:52.00] But take your time--think a lot
[00:56.00] Think of everthing you've got
[00:59.00] For you will still be here tomorrow
[01:02.00] But your dreams may not...
[01:05.00]
[01:10.00] How can I try to explain?
[01:13.00] When I do--it turns away again
[01:17.00] And it's always been the same
[01:20.00] Same old story
[01:23.00] From the moment I could talk
[01:26.00] I was ordered to listen
[01:29.00] Now there's a way, and I know
[01:33.00] That I have to go away
[01:36.00] I know, I have to go...
[01:41.00]
[01:45.00] It's not time to make a change
[01:48.00] Just sit down
[01:50.00] and take it slowly
[01:52.00] You're still young--that's your fault
[01:55.00] There's so much you have to go through
[01:58.00] Find a girl, settle down
[02:01.00] If you want, you can marry
[02:05.00] Look at me--I am old
[02:08.00] But I'm happy
[02:10.00]
[02:11.00] All the times, that I've cried
[02:14.00] Keeping all the things I knew inside
[02:18.00] And it's hard
[02:20.00] But it's harder to ignore it
[02:23.00]
[02:24.00] If they were right--I'd agree
[02:28.00] But it's them--they know
[02:30.00] Not me. Now there's a way, and I know
[02:34.00] That I have to go away
[02:38.00] I know, I have to go.
[02:45.00] End
