I used to sleep away the mornings
Couldn't wait 'til the sun went down
The weekend was always calling
I couldn't wait to get my self down town
Mum and dad would try to reach me
I was too busy to take their calls
I'd say "I could talk tomorrow" 
But I never did and that's nothing new at all
But those days are long gone now

And you wake up a little older, your baby's lying on your shoulder and just like that everything has changed
You can't stop time, days will always roll on by and before you know it you realize that nothing stays the same
If I could tell my younger self I'd say, don't wish it all away

From getting muddy in the backyard
To letting me teach you how to play guitar
I'll be there when your heart breaks
And watch you take a drive in your first car
I often think if you'll be like me
Pull out of the gate when you turn eighteen
You probably think it's going slowly, 
But don't move too fast 'cause things will all work out
But I'm not worry about that now

And you wake up a little older, your teenager crying on your shoulder and just like that everything has changed
You can't stop time, days will always roll on by and before you know it you realize that nothing stays the same
If I could tell my younger self I'd say, don't wish it all away

'Cause just like that, its moments you can't get back
So don't wish it all away, yeah
Oh...

And you wake up a little older, you're hoping that your kids come over and just like that everything has changed
You can't stop time, days will always roll on by and before you know it you realize that nothing stays the same
If I could tell my younger self I'd say
Even though life goes so fast, it's all okay
But don't wish it all away, all away
Don't wish it all away
