[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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 it
Still hurts me so
[Solo]
Cold afternoons
Oh mommas 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
[walk down on the E string to Em]
[Chorus]
Oh, your only young but once
Only get one chance
Seeing life through the eyes of the innocent
So take it slow
No need in haste
Cause the time youâll miss
Is the time you waste
[Solo]
So now I m now grown
For the first time in my life
I feel close to home
In my heart and in my mind
Don t think that I
I Wouldn t take every minute back
If I could bring myself
To live like that
(walk down on the E to Em)
[Chorus]
Cause youâre only young but once
You only get one chance
Seeing life through the eyes of the innocent
So take it slow
No need in haste
Cause the time you ll miss
Is The time you waste
Yeah the time you ll miss, babe
Is the time you waste
