It's not time to make a change
Just relax, 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, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Well, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not.
How can I try to explain?

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
That I have to go away
I know I have to go.
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
if you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
All the times that I cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
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.
