First you lose yourself in water And then you think you're in control Next the more you know the more you wonder And then you learn to let it go At first you wanted to seem older And hide away your innocence Now when someone says you look much younger You take that as a compliment But don't you think it's rather sad That time is not the greatest adviser You learn as much as you forget So at the end you won't be much wiser First they teach you to be modest And then you hit so hard you crack Next they will attack you if you're honest And then you learn to take it back You taught to work by those where of your grow And to do you better than your best Next you work so hard you snow under And then you learn to take some rest But don't you think it's rather sad That time is not the greatest adviser You learn as much as you forget So at the end you won't be much wiser First they teach you to be patient And then you learn there is no much time Next you know learn go on to hurry And you trying to just enjoy the ride Oh you trying to just enjoy the ride Yeah you trying to just enjoy the ride
