Album: Ultimate Escape (2002)





Tired at 20 years old

Memory collecting before his time

Recall the old stomping ground

I see a tear welling up in his eye



No, you can't cheat time, don't let that control your life

Hold your breath, close your eyes, just jump in, the water's fine



These pleas fall on deaf ears

Ears that were once tuned to truth

A dated, washed up old man

He's seen it all, nothing else for him to do



No, you can't cheat time, don't let that control your life

Goes over your head, you look over your shoulder

When you turn back you're that much older



It slips away

Be what you're becoming

It slips away

And not who you were

It slips away

Grab hold of the here and now while you still have the chance



So are you giving up now?

As for adventures you're had your fill

Who says you're over the hill?

I think it was you and you know very well



You're holding yourself back

(Turn your face to the day)

When you could be doing anything

(Don't just dig your own grave)

When will you treat yourself

(Take with you what you learn)

The same as I do

(Be yourself, now who you were)



I want to see you use your capabilities

Build me an ocean then destroy it with your eyes
