It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy / You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know / Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry / Look at me I am old, but I'm happy /

(Away, away, away / I know / I have to make this decision / Alone / No)

I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy / To be calm When you've found something going on / But take your time, think a lot Why, think of everything you've got / For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not /

How can I try to explain? When I do, he turns away again / It's always been the same Same old story / From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen / Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know, I have to go /

All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside / It's hard But it's harder to ignore it If they were right, I'd agree / But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away / I know, I have to go /

(Stay, stay, stay / Why must you go / And make this decision / Alone)
