Description: Almost everyone is afraid of Old Father Time. When it comes to making the most of your roaring twenties and making sure you reach your peak, the FOMO is real! By the time you're 30 you must have seen all of the world, established your career, found your life partner and acquired currency. This song is about trying to let go of that fear and realising you don't have to peak at 25.

Almost everyone is afraid of Old Father Time. When it comes to making the most of your roaring twenties and making sure you reach your peak, the FOMO is real! By the time you're 30 you must have seen all of the world, established your career, found your life partner and acquired currency. This song is about trying to let go of that fear and realising you don't have to peak at 25.

lyrics

So many places I've never been, love to go
So many faces I've never seen, love to know
But how far have I already travelled 'cross the Venn diagram
That whole time being hustled along before you've drawn up a plan

There's really quite a way to go
Until you call time
So go ahead and find yourself

As you shoot up from the ground
And peruse the seven seas
You shout your name across the town before you've hit your prime.

So many pages I'm yet to read, out on my own
So many stages I'm yet to reach, I'd love to know
But since you've been fixated with waiting instead of taking you've remained at last in the line
All those moments you were wasting while strategically debating you missed that the roses had died.

There's a long long way to go
Until you call time
So along the way you'll find yourself

As you build up from the ground
And you sail the seven seas
You'll push your head above the crowd all while you're in your prime

Stay on the long and winding road
Until you call time
And hope you never ever find yourself

As you shoot up from the ground
And you sail the seven seas
You'll leave some time to look around all while you're in your prime.
