Still Young 03:33
Still I'm young I feel so young during my childhood playing and having fun, I enjoyed it when I was a kid but to be honest If you ask me, to choose I'd pre-fer to be an adult a thousand times clock turns and turns and makes me learn some things in life, I wouldn't do it again now times slowed down I take control I don't want to loose my innocent soul gettin' older older time is passing older older but at the same time I’m feeling so young during my teenage years I lived in a storm many thing sharpened many ups and downs when your young you never dreamed of getting older couldn' t see the future I was just killing time many milestones I had to make it just to get here when you grow up you understand to look after the innocent kid gettin' older older time is passing by older older at the same time I feel so young look at me, I’m young, time is passing by gettin' older older time is passing older older but at the same time i’m feeling so young
