You're Way Too Young For Those Kinds Of Things

Intro

Oh oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

You keep on looking at the open door

Tapping your shoes across the kitchen floor

Blue jeans are waiting by the garden gate

The moon is rising but it's getting late

I see the hunger in your eyes

Beneath these Carolina skies

Pre-Chorus

But slow it down a little while

I love to see that pretty smile

Wait for the sun to come on up

Before you try to fill that cup

Chorus

You're way too young for those kinds of things

To understand what a heartbreak brings

Too young to fly on those paper wings

And listen when the dark bird sings

Wait for the morning light

You're way too young tonight

Verse 2

Hold on to childhood like a lucky stone

Instead of trying to be all alone

The world is wider than you really know

There is a season for the seeds to grow

You want to run before you walk

You want to act before you talk

Pre-Chorus

So slow it down a little while

I love to see that pretty smile

Wait for the sun to come on up

Before you try to fill that cup

Chorus

You're way too young for those kinds of things

To understand what a heartbreak brings

Too young to fly on those paper wings

And listen when the dark bird sings

Wait for the morning light

You're way too young tonight

Bridge

Time is a river that moves so fast

Nothing is ever quite built to last

Don't be in a hurry to lose your way

Just enjoy the colors of the day

Let the wind blow soft

Keep your dreams aloft

Chorus

You're way too young for those kinds of things

To understand what a heartbreak brings

Too young to fly on those paper wings

And listen when the dark bird sings

Wait for the morning light

You're way too young tonight

Way too young tonight

Way too young tonight
