Empty seashells held to your ear
Soft words of wisdom you think you can hear
On the beach you're fresh, free and wild
All is within your reach because you're still a child
But then you grow up learning, becoming wise
You can't shake the yearning to flee the lies
And warm waves against your skin, cut like a knife
While you're trying to win in this game called life
Looking back you've grown so much through the years
And seashells seem like just nice souvenirs
Memories, memories are fading, shading a perfect past
Reality, reality is invading a time that could never last
You've grown up so fast
Now you've come so far, if only you knew
You were, you are - still the same you
Mmmmh...
Grown up so fast
So fast
