Tired at twenty years old
Memory collecting before his time
Recall the old stomping ground
I see a tear welling up in his eye
No you can't cheat time
Don't let that control your life
Hold your breath close your eyes
Just jump in the water is fine
These pleas fall on deaf ears
Ears that were once tuned to truth
A dated washed up old man
Has seen it all nothing
else for him to do
No you can't cheat time
Don't let that control your
life Goes over your head
look over your shoulder
When you look back you're
that much older
It slips away
Be what you're becoming
It slips away
And not who you were
It slips away
Grab hold of the here
and now while you
still have the chance
So are you giving up now?
As for adventures you've
had your fill Who says
you're over the hill?
I think it was you
and you know very well
No you can't cheat time
Don't let that control your
life Goes over your head
look over your shoulder
When you look back you're
that much older
It slips away
Be what you're becoming
It slips away
And not who you were
It slips away
Grab hold of the here
and now while you
still have the chance
You're holding yourself back
Turn your face to the day
When you could be doing anything
Don't just dig your own grave
When will you trust yourself?
Take with you what you learn
The same as I do
Be yourself not who you were
I want to see You use your
then
It slips away
Be what you're becoming
It slips away
And not who you were
It slips away
Grab hold of the here
and now while you
still have the chance
