about

Oooo I was young and ambitious, I even had hair!!

lyrics

Can you see the transition,
To a man on a mission,
From a medium-size smalltown boy,
Who treats life like it was a toy,
As he takes the future in his hands,
But he's never made his future plans.

Sink or swim to where the streets are paved with gold sweet wrappers
For the team, all my friends who unknowingly showed what matters.

To the city and the bright lights,
But he still can't handle late nights,
He's going nowhere fast,
And this dream of his won't last,
He's so clueless and so rash,
And he's going nowhere much too fast.

For the ones who forged their destiny,
Before the age of 23,
Who understood the things I never could, now I see,
The blunders that we make,
And the risks we sometimes take,
Are rocking boats where boats should not be rocked,
But I've learned to swim,
You take the high road, I think I've found a shortcut
To the places that you've promised yourselves when old
But I'm not sold

And just what if you're wrong?
If the world's not fixed by song?
Will you still look back and smile at those,
Who listen to the one who knows?
It's not big and it's not clever,
You know it won't last forever.

Sink or swim to where the streets are paved with gold sweet wrappers
For the team, all my friends who unknowingly showed what matters.

What about a back-up plan?
Just listen to a thinking man,
You have letters behind your name,
A career and stuff to keep you sane,
You've proved that you are able,
So careful and so stable.

So don't throw it all away,
You'll regret it all one day,
You could stay here making hay,
While the sun shines.
So don't throw it all away,
You'll regret it all one day,
You could stay here making hay,
While the sun shines down on someone else.

For the ones who forged their destiny,
Before the age of 23,
Who understood the things I never could, now I see,
The blunders that we make,
And the risks we sometimes take,
Are rocking boats where boats should not be rocked,
But I've learned to swim,
You take the high road, I think I've found a shortcut
To the places that you've promised yourselves when old
But I'm not sold
