It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
                              
You're still young that's your fault
                          
there's so much you have to know
                                               
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
                                 
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
                                                
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy
                                               
to be calm, when you've found something going on
                                                      
But take your time, think a lot, why think of everything you've got
                                                     
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

CHORUS #1:
                                                 
How can I try to explain?  when I do he turns away again
                                       
it's always been the same, same old story
                                          
>From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
                                   
now there's a way and I know I have to go away
                       -  riff  - riff
and I know I have to go


                          (away)       (away)
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
                  (I)               (know)               (I have)
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have
   (to    make    this)
to go through
(decision)               (alone)
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to you can marry
         (no) 
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy


CHORUS #2:
        (stay)       (stay, stay)
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
     (why?)      (must)                (you go and make this de-
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
cision)                     (alone?)
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
