Too Soon Lyrics

Too soon, too young

There goes another one

Too fast today

How can I tell them to wait?

The evening sun reaches out across the sky

Black and scarlet shadows mingle in my eye

This moment may soon be gone

Your glory cannot last very long

Youthful innocence and curiosity

Try to cover up their insecurity

I know it, I've been there too

How can I get them to see my point of vice

How can I tell them to wait?

Life seems so short at sweet sixteen

They're always in such a hurry

So scared of being late

When there's so much to do

And there's so much at stake

How can I tell them to wait?

Quintessential moments interrupt your peace

Heartbeats pound together looking for release

No wonder you're so unsure

This decision could change your life forever

How can I tell them to wait?

Life seems so short at seventeen

They're always in such a hurry

So scared of being late

When there's so much to do

And there's so much at stake

How can I tell them to wait?

The evening sun sinks down beyond your view

The fire that lit your day is burning inside you

Quit fighting, with Him we've won the war

He'll show you something that's worth waiting for

How can I tell them to wait?

Life seems so short when you're a teen

They're always in such a hurry

So scared of being late

When there's so much to do

And there's so much at stake

How can I tell them to wait?
