Don't Wish Your Life Away Songtext
von Andrew Marshall

Twenty-one always seemed to be the age I waited for my whole life
But now that it′s here I can't help but be wondering, why
My Dad′s growing old, my Mama she's getting there too
My sister's got a house, a wife she′s gonna be soon

Don′t wish your life away
Those dreams that you chase will come someday
Leave the future behind
Just hang on for the ride
And feel the smile on your face
Just don't wish your life away

I see children fill the houses of my friends
Vacant memories of nights we spent all in our heads
Thinking of all the things we′d do when we get out of this town
Little did I know that I won't get another chance with them around


Don′t wish your life away
Those dreams that you chase will come someday
Leave the future behind
Just hang on for the ride
And feel the smile on your face
Just don't wish your life away

Now the door′s slammed tight
On the side of my life
Where my childhood fades from view
And I'm all strung up, 'cause I′m out on my own
I wanted this all too soon
What can I do

Don′t wish your life away
Those dreams that you chase will come someday
Leave the future behind
Just hang on for the ride
And feel the smile on your face
Just don't wish your life away
