I found a grey today
Childish instincts have gone astray
Time it slips away
Days are long but years they race

Would you slow down just a little
I don’t wanna miss the middle
I’m terrified of change
‘nother landmark in my story
‘nother bill another worry
My youths so far away

Would you hold on love
I’m just trying to keep up
Cause these leaves keep on falling
Then winter is stormin’
These seasons are shifting
Like dusk to the morning
Wake me up
Make this slumber stop
It’s all slipping away
These hours to days
I’ll admit it I’m afraid
Of growing up

Another line on my face
A sign of wisdom or a mortals chain?
I guess we’rе born in decay
Before you know it thеse decades chase you
Down like there’s a bounty
Count to ten and they’re surrounding
Can’t outrun natures pace
Nothing new under the sun
Came from ash return to dust
Can’t win this wretched game
Would you hold on love
I’m just trying to keep up
Cause these leaves keep on falling
Then winter is stormin’
These seasons are shifting
Like dusk to the morning
Wake me up
Make this slumber stop
It’s all slipping away
These hours to days
I’ll admit it I’m afraid

Of getting older of growing up
I’ve never thought I was strong enough
To be my saviour bear my own crutch
Afraid to see what this becomes

Would you slow down just a little
I don’t wanna miss the riddle
This moments all we have
Tell my mother that I love her
Tell my father tell my brothers
Their everything I am

Oh hold on love
I’m just trying to keep up
Cause these leaves keep on falling
Then winter is stormin’
These seasons are shifting
Like dusk to the morning
Wake me up
Make this slumber stop
It’s all slipping away
These hours to days
I’ll admit it I’m afraid
Of growing up
