lyrics

(1)
Some days I'm scared of the future, aware of the blue bits there /
Dare I compute the 'where' and the 'when', 'if' and 'who's' of /
The certainty blurred but in view, it's just that it hurts to think through them /

My whole world swirled with confusion /
I just need leave it alone /
And the Buddhists say peace is found: live in the moment /
But I guess that it's easy for some /

It's harder to put into practice /
A quiet mind's often distracted, too busy thinking of absence /
Possible outcomes; the tragic, and synapses fire to grasp this /

Stop time and you've cracked it /
You could live forever with your family perhaps this is all you could ask for /
But we can't stop time;
Though photographs and memories you have form /

A proof of the passage you spent here /
The miracle event, still unclear why we're sent here /
Those big questions that men fear /
The ones that matter when you're sensing the ends near /

There's no way to prevent tears /
I can see it in your eyes, the pain that presents clear /
I've got your back when you need me /
Though it's hard to understand things completely /

(Chorus)
So don't grow up too fast /
This world is a cold, cold place /
Responsibilities come too soon /
Don't wish your life away /

You'll face that pain someday /
But for now let's focus here /
Coz that's where we're alive /
And that's where I want to stay /

(2)
It's always the same stuff dragging you through it /
And I try to fight back using ignorance, stupid /
Only you can choose how you react /
It's often anger straight on the attack, though I want to relax /

And when you can feel your blood boil, spoiling the calm /
That's the crux point embroiling your heart /
What happens after? (Is it) destroy or restart /
The two choices where t'fork road opens apart /

And which side you walk depends on your logic /
Are you clouded by rage and the prospect?
Too hard to engage with the problem, rather stay sane than get lost when /
It's time turn instead of facing the nonsense /

Not today Satan / I aren't playing that game-station /
And everybody's suffering'll plague 'em /
When you're feeling stuck you try to pray then /
I guess I'm hypocritical, Amen /

As a youngster wishing I was older so /
I didn't have to go to school and listen to some older folks /
Talking 'bout a world I really wasn't ready for /
And when you reach the age you wished, you realise that you're ill informed /

Like anybody has a clue /
Tryna wing it, but make a difference in the things you do /
For folks you know and love, I never hoped I'd get owt back /
But if I needed help, some'd be there, some I daren't ask /

(Chorus)
So don't grow up too fast /
This world is a cold, cold place /
Responsibilities come too soon /
Don't wish your life away /

You'll face that pain someday /
But for now let's focus here /
Coz that's where we're alive /
And that's where I want to stay /
