[00:05.63] Kicking dust up, I'm wearing out my shoes
[00:11.19] I can't make my mind up
[00:13.67] I've got too much to lose
[00:16.82] I'm old enough to leave home
[00:20.05] But way too young to know what I should do
[00:25.83] I'm treading water
[00:28.71] I'm trying to keep my head above the ground
[00:37.89] So would you come with me up to the oak tree?
[00:42.98] Time will stop for us again
[00:45.96] Look back, remember when
[00:50.05] Yeah, we were just eighteen, under the oak tree
[00:55.04] Safer than we'd ever been
[00:58.06] Hold on to innocence
[01:03.05] Where has the time gone? I'm feeling old and gray
[01:09.01] Trying to breathe revival into my broken ways
[01:14.58] I'm old enough to leave home
[01:17.97] But way too young to carry all the blame
[01:23.59] I'm treading water
[01:26.57] I'm trying to keep my head above the ground
[01:35.67] So would you come with me up to the oak tree?
[01:40.53] Time will stop for us again
[01:43.66] Look back, remember when
[01:47.76] Yeah, we were just eighteen, under the oak tree
[01:52.59] Safer than we'd ever been
[01:55.65] Hold on to innocence
[01:59.64] We were young, oh, we were young
[02:05.07] And we had time
[02:11.80] How I hate the feeling that time
[02:20.97] It keeps slipping away
[02:30.89] The child in me is kicking; don't let a moment pass
[02:36.44] 'Cause I can't bear to witness my parents age so fast
[02:42.11] They're way too young to fly home
[02:45.52] And I can't stand to watch the hourglass
[02:51.23] I'm treading water
[02:54.20] I'm trying to keep my head above the ground
[03:00.20] I'm treading water
[03:03.39] I'm trying to keep time from running out
[03:12.47] So would you come with me up to the oak tree?
[03:17.27] Time will stop for us again
[03:20.36] Look back, remember when
[03:24.54] Yeah, we were just eighteen, under the oak tree
[03:29.38] Safer than we'd ever been
[03:32.52] Hold on to innocence
[03:36.40] We were young, oh, we were young
[03:41.93] And we had time
[03:48.47] Oh,to be young, oh, to be young
[03:54.04] And to have time
