  S1:
  It's not time to make a change 

  Just relax, take it easy 

  You're still young, that's your fault 

  There's so much you have to know 

  Find a girl, settle down 

  If you want you can marry 

  Look at me, I am old 

  But I'm happy

  S2:
  I was once like you are now 

  And I know that it's not easy 

  To be calm when you've found 

  Something going on  

  But take your time, think a lot 

  Think of everything you've got 

  For you will still be here tomorrow 

  But your dreams may not

  S3:
  How can I try to explain 

  When I do he turns away again 

  It's always been the same 

  Same old story  

  From the moment I could talk 

  I was ordered to listen 

  Now there's a way and I know 

  That I have to go away 

  I know I have to go

  S4:
  It's not time to make a change 

  Just sit down, take it slowly 

  You're still young, that's your fault 

  There's so much you have to go through 

  Find a girl, settle down 

  If you want you can marry 

  Look at me, I am old 

  But I'm happy

  S5:
  All the times that I've cried 

  Keeping all the things I knew inside 

  It's hard 

  But it's harder to ignore it  

  If they were right I'd agree 

  But it's them they know, not me 

  Now there's a way and I know 

  That I have to go away 

  I know I have to go
