Wait a little longer kid,

what you wanna grow up so fast for?

Why you doin' like I did?

Didn't you say I got what I asked for?

But you're afraid to find out like me and climb out

but you're always close to me

You got a different story,

it's the same damn thing

Got a long way,

rest your feet

I know you can do anything

You are such a handsome boy,

don't you give up your glory

Why you wanna hit them streets?

Didn't you never hear my story?

And it's fine to waste time

but you've got a beautiful mind

and you're always close to me

You're a different kid

but it's the same damn thing

And it's a long way,

you better rest your feet

I know that you want everything

That's what you told me

I still believe you

I still see it's true

I need you

And I know you, dear

but if you've gotta make it

then I can take it from here

Wait a little longer kid

Didn't I never say I would miss you?

Don't go until I come home

Please don't go until I kiss you

And it's hard to grow up

but we all know it's tough

Yeah, you're always close to me

You'll have a different story,

it's the same damn thing

You got a long way,

come on, rest your feet

I know you can do anything
