The McClymonts - Don't Wish It All Away lyrics

I used to sleep away the mornings
Couldn't wait till the sun went down
The weekend was always calling
I couldn't wait to get my self down town
Mum and dad would try to reach me
I was too busy to take their calls
I'd say "I could talk tomorrow" but I never
Did and that's nothing new at all
But those days are long gone now

And you wake up a little older
Your baby's lying on your shoulder and
Just like that everything has changed
You can't stop time
Days will always roll on by
And before you know
It you realise that nothing stays the same
If I could tell my younger self I'd say
Don't wish it all away

From getting muddy in the backyard
To letting me teach you how to play guitar
I'll be there when your heart breaks
And watch you take a drive in your first car
I often think if you'll be like me
Pull out of the gate when you turn eighteen
You probably think it's going slowly
But don't move too fast 'cause
Things will all work out but, I'm that now

And you wake up a little older
Your teenager crying on your shoulder and
Just like that everything has changed
You can't stop time
Days will always roll on by
And before you know
It you realise that nothing stays the same
If I could tell my younger self I'd say
Don't wish it all away

Cause just like that
It's moments you can't get back
So don't wish it all away, yeah

And you wake up a little older
You're hoping that your kids come over and
Just like that everything has changed
You can't stop time
Days will always roll on by
And before you know
It you realise that nothing stays the same
If I could tell my younger self I'd
Say, even though life goes so fast
It's all okay
But don't wish it all away, all away
Don't wish it all away
