Remember sitting on a doorstep   Oh with tears in my eyes   Already had my bags packed   And kissed my momma goodbye      Had my heart set on someone   That I didn't even know   So tell me why   Still hurts me so      Cold afternoons   Oh mommas off to work   Just home from school   Feeling lonesome and unsure      Getting wise to the streets   Keep them to my own   Just awake one day   Found out that I was grown      Oh, all the other ones   Only get one chance   Seeing life through the eyes of the innocent   Just to take it slow   Believe me      Cause in time youll miss   Time you waste      Guess I'm now grown   For the first time in my life   Oh, I feel at home   In my heart and in my mind      Don't think that I   Wouldn't take every minute back   Just couldn't bring myself   To live like that         Cause all the other ones   Only get one chance   Seeing life through the eyes of the innocent   Yes, so take it slow   Believe me      Cause in time you'll miss   The time you waste      Yeah the time you'll miss, babe   Is the time you waste
