Life

[Verse]
No one ever said that time could fly
I was just 19 with the open sky
Laughing loud
No plans to keep
Couldn’t see the future
It was buried deep
[Prechorus]
Then I blinked
The years were gone
Turned around
Life had moved along
[Chorus]
Fast forward life
It won’t wait
Every candle adds a little more weight
I’m still that kid
But the mirror says no
Fast forward life
It’s a runaway show
[Verse 2]
At 29
I was chasing dreams
At midnight
30 tore the seams
Thought I was old
But I was wrong
Turns out
The years just tag along
my dreams I heard Papa JEROME. granddad Grandpa (OH NOOO)
[Chorus]
Fast forward life
It won’t wait
Every candle adds a little more weight
I’m still that kid
But the mirror says no
Fast forward life
It’s a runaway show
no one ever told me getting old would get here so fast I was just 19 having a blast I couldnt see the future or how fast it would move for you know it I was 29 at midnight I turn 30 all I can think is wow Im old by that point I was a dad with a lot of energy blink my eyes someone was holding a cake with an awful lot of candles on it saying happy 40th it seemed like a mile stone but I still felt 19
Now I’m 40
Cake’s on fire (OH NOOOO) it seems Im not alone someone called me great uncle
Little voices call me their empire
They see a granddad
But I see me
That 19-year-old
Wild and free
