Time You Waste

Remember sitting on a doorstep
Oh with tears in my eyes
Already had my bags packed
And kissed my momma goodbye
Had my heart set on someone
That I didn’t even know
So tell me why
Still hurts me so
Cold afternoons
Oh momma’s off to work
Just home from school
Feeling lonesome and unsure
Getting wise to the streets
Keep them to my own
Just awake one day
Found out that I was grown
Oh, all the other ones
Only get one chance
Seeing life through the eyes of the innocent
Just to take it slow
Believe me
'Cause in time you’ll miss
Time you waste
Guess I’m now grown
For the first time in my life
Oh, I feel at home
In my heart and in my mind
Don’t think that I
Wouldn’t take every minute back
Just couldn’t bring myself
To live like that
'Cause all the other ones
Only get one chance
Seeing life through the eyes of the innocent
Yes, so take it slow
Believe me
'Cause in time you’ll miss
The time you waste
Yeah the time you’ll miss, babe
Is the time you waste
