Slow down kid, you’re living to angry, you’re living to mean
The world won’t make sense at fifteen
You’ll roll your sleeves and hide your heart
But you’ve come a long way from the start

It’s funny what can change when you’re twenty four
Staring into the eyes of a stranger wanting more
She’ll keep you close, but it’ll be hard to tell
If it was your or her that fell

At twenty seven, you’ll start to dream
You’ll start questioning what everything means
You might even get a tattoo
But you’ll let your heart guide you true

When you reach the end, you’ll crack a smile
You’ll look into her eyes and realize it’s all worthwhile
The journey and the memories that were made
Knowing that none of it will ever fade

So slow down kid, it's not your time
Just work on the reason, find your rhyme
Stay true and walk the line
For one day too, you will shine
