Tsunami Bomb - 20 Goin On LYRICS

Tired at twenty years old
Memory collecting before his time
Re-call the old stomping ground
I see a tear welling up in his eye

No, you can't cheat time
Don't let that controll your life
Hold your breath, close your eyes
Just jump in, that water's fine

These please 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 eyes

It slips away
Be what you're becoming
It slips away
And not who you were
It slips away
