Lyrics

Bus stop; first day
He waves goodbye to his dad as he walks away
A new town; a new school
Another year another move
They always end the same way
With tears in his eyes
His father sits him down and says, “don’t cry
I’ll try to explain, but you’re

Too young, my son
To understand how this life becomes so complex
Just close your eyes; lay down
You don’t have to learn it all right now
You’ll see in time
Yeah, if you’re patient it’ll start to fall in line
Like it does for everyone
But right now you’re too young”

Heartbreak at fifteen
He lies away in the night; he can’t fall asleep
The three words that she said
They’re all he hears in his head
Because she took ‘em all back and gave ‘em away
To one of his best friends
And his mother says, “this trouble will pass
But right now you’re

Too young, my son
To understand how this life becomes so complex
Just close your eyes; lay down
You don’t have to learn it all right now
You’ll see in time
Yeah, if you’re patient it’ll start to fall in line
Like it does for everyone
But right now you’re too young”

When we’re kids we wanna grow up oh so fast
Yeah, we’re convinced that all these growing pains won’t last
But now and then I get that same old pain inside
I guess it never says goodbye
‘Cause I feel it every single time
My daughter asks, “Why?”

And I say, “you’re too young, sweet girl
To understand how this world becomes so complex
Just close your eyes; lay down
You don’t have to learn it all right now
You’ll see in time
Yeah, if you’re patient it’ll start to fall in line
Like it does for everyone
But right now you’re too young
Right now you’re too young”
