Eric Nauman - Time Slip

I never thought I'd be twenty-two
Still don't think I'll be twenty-three
I still have some young bones in me
And a dream that's out to get me
I was born to go to college
But raised to be a different man
The man mandates some things
He will surely never understand
I remember back in second grade
So I must have been about eight
Looking out the classroom window
Thinking how it would be great
I want to be a skipping stone
And pass my way through time
I never thought I ever was a stone
But the years have sure passed me by
If you bottle up a moment
Will it ever pass you by
Would you rather live that moment
And never wonder why
I never thought I'd make it to the city
Always thought I'd be the laughing stock
Just a boy raised on the mountainside
Who claimed that he could rock
I wanna know what makes the people swoon
And girls fall at my feet
And know all the secrets of the world
To put under my pillow as I sleep
Never thought I'd be twenty-two
Still don't think I'll be twenty-three
Never thought I'd amount to anything
Or have a life that was worth living
I never thought I'd meet the perfect girl
Still don't think I'll ever have five kids
Never thought I knew what doubt was
But now I know what doubt is
I want to live a life
Don't wanna live a lie
I want to live a life
Don't wanna live a lie
I want to live a life
Don't wanna live a lie
I want to live a life
