People always tell me "What's your hurry"
"You're movin' like your pants, they're on fire"
And me, I simply tell them "Don't you worry"
While the water in the dam keeps gettin' higher
And I may be young, but I'm not that young
And with all those years I've got
I may have time to kill
But if you will, I'd rather not
Kid I really don't believe you're ready
You know you still got a lot to learn
Me, I don't believe you're ever really ready
To cross the kind of bridge you have to burn
And I may be dumb, but I'm not that dum
And I'll make my own mistakes
And if I am wrong
Well then damnit I'll be wrong, that's what it takes
Reevaluate your dreams and visions
You wind up with a head full of regrets
You're just tryin' to avoid the big decisions
Tell me, why is it a sin to hedge your bets
And I may be slow, but I'm not that slow
And the risks I take, I choose
Cause unless I last, I'll be doin' it all half-assed
And what's the use
People always tell me "What's your hurry"
"You're movin' like your pants, they're on fire"
And me, I simply tell them "Don't you worry"
While the water in the dam keeps gettin' higher
And I may be young, but I'm not that young
And with all those years I've got
I may have time to kill
But if you will, I'd rather not
