Only twenty, your feet are fighting to walk a path so uninviting
Only twenty, your mind is racing with hidden emotions now in your face
Pick up the pace this is where it starts no more losing track
Pick up the pace this is where it starts no more falling back

Chorus
Why squander the joy of the only one
Who can make it last for years to come'
Why wallow in self, why get lost in the pain
When I'm offering growth instead of escape'

I feel so young but my feet are fighting to walk a path so uninviting
I feel so old my mind is racing my body is tired, set in my ways
I'm too complacent I sit on the corner pretend not to beg
Too complacent I stand on the corner scratching my leg

Chorus

Bridge
Sweat out the fear that's left you out of shape
Work off the years that have left you full of ache
I know you're tired and I know that you're sore
But you'll gain nothing from sitting on the floor

Chorus

Why squander the joy, why wallow in self
Of the only one, why get lost in the pain'
Who can make it last, He'll make it last
For years to come, for years to come
