Has it really been that long? Did I count the days wrong? Did we just go 'round and 'round All the way to step one? They would ask me all the time Every time the show's up "So what you doin' with your life" It ain't givin' up Just growin' up in stages (Lay down, low down) Livin' life in phases Another season changes And still my days are shapeless It's always, "Drive straight, don't be late" 'Cause time waits for no one I should be flying straight, with no delay 'Cause time takes from everyone I've been waiting here Waiting for the day to come Take us to the place Takin' us where we have gone They would ask me all the time Showin' up in ages "So what you doin' with your life?" Call it givin' up I'm just growin' up in stages (Lay down, low down) Livin' life in phases Another season changes And still my ways are aimless, I know We're growin' up in stages And I'm runnin' out of pages Growin' up It's always, "Drive straight, don't be late" 'Cause time waits for no one I should be flying straight, with no delay 'Cause time takes from everyone
