The older I get
The younger the old seem
I'm further from sixteen now
That's about when I left
That town that I come from
Now those days have moved on yeah
Isn't it sad
That drinking in the park was the best that we had
Just there in your car
Singing songs about love before we knew what it was

Oh I'm growing up
But I'm still young at heart
How do I make time stop?
Cause I'm still waiting to start

I remember the nights
Too young to get in we memorised all the lines
On your sister's card
Now we'd rather stay in and talk over cheap red wine
And look at us now
Scared of the future, getting lost in the past
And I don't know how
But life flies by like a bullet in the sky

Oh I'm growing up
But I'm still young at heart
How do I make time stop?
Cause I'm still waiting to start

And I'm holding on
But I keep falling apart
How do I make time stop?
Cause I'm still waiting to start

I want a thousand first loves
Don't want no last goodbyes
Bottle up every first touch
Like the feelings I hide

Oh I'm growing up
But I'm still young at heart
How do I make time stop?
Cause I'm still waiting to start

And I'm holding on
But I keep falling apart
How do I make time stop?
Cause I'm still waiting to start
