These Important Years

Well, you get up every morning

And you see, it's still the same

All the floors and all the walls

And all the rest remains

Nothing changes fast enough

The hurry, worry days

It makes you want to give it up

And drift into a haze



Revelations seems to be another way

To make the days go faster anyways



We're all exchanging pleasantries

No matter how we feel

And no one knows the difference

'cause it all seems so unreal

You'd better grab a hold of something

Simple but it's true

If you don't stop to smell the roses now

They might end up on you



Expectations only mean you really think you know

What's coming next, and you don't



Yearbooks with their autographs

From friends you might have had

These are your important years

You'd better make them last

Falling in and out of love just like...

These are your important years, your life



Once you've seen the light, you finally

Realize it might end up all right

It might end up all right now
