Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
[Verse 2]
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
[Verse 3]
How can I try to explain?
When I do, he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
[Verse 4]
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
[Verse 5]
And all the times that I've cried (Stay, stay)
Keeping all the things I knew inside (Stay)
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it (Why must you go and make)
If they were right, I'd agree (This decision alone?)
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way, and I know (No)
That I have to go away (You don't have to go away)
I know I have to go (You don't have to go)
