20 Going On...

'20 Going On...' -- Tsunami Bomb
 Tired at twenty years old
 memory collecting before his time
 recall, the old stompin' 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, 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 capabilities
 build me an ocean, then destroy it with your own
 (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
