Dean Friedman - I May Be Young lyrics

"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 dumb

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
