Tsunami Bomb - 20 Going On... lyrics

Tired at 20 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's 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, you look over your shoulder When you turn 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 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 capabilities Build me an ocean then destroy it with your eyes
