Wait

Wait a little longer kid,
what you wanna grow up so fast for? why you doin’ like i did?
didn’t you say i got what i asked for?

but you’re afraid to find out like me and climb out
but you’re always close to me
you got a different story,
it’s the same damn thing
got a long way,
rest your feet
i know you can do anything

you are such a handsome boy,
don’t you give up your glory
why you wanna hit them streets?
didn’t you never hear my story?

and it’s fine to waste time
but you’ve got a beautiful mind
and you’re always close to me
you’re a different kid
but it’s the same damn thing
and it’s a long way,
you better rest your feet
i know that you want everything
that’s what you told me

i still believe you
i still see it’s true
i need you
and i know you, dear
but if you’ve gotta make it
then i can take it from here

wait a little longer kid
didn’t i never say i would miss you?
don’t go until i come home
please don’t go until i kiss you
and it’s hard to grow up
but we all know it’s tough

yeah, you’re always close to me
you’ll have a different story,
it’s the same damn thing
you got a long way,
come on, rest your feet
i know you can do anything
