Don't Wish It All Away - The McClymonts

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 its 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,

its all okay

But don’t wish it all away, all away

Don’t wish it all away
