When I was young
I groped around in the dark
I could afford the wrongs
One day I'd get them right
When I was young
I could just brush it off and
Raise my fists up to fight
Don't be too careful or you'll wind up like
Waltzing Matilda on rewind
Don't be too patient you'll never start it's
No more than you can handle
Don't be left behind
When I was young
I didn't need anyone
I could ignore all of
Those warning signs
When I was young
I could just laugh it off and
Pull the wool over my eyes
Don't be too careful or you'll wind up like
Waltzing Mathilda on rewind
Don't be too patient you'll never start it's
No more than you can handle
Don't be left behind
Don't be too careful or you'll wind up like
Waltzing Mathilda on rewind
Don't be too patient you'll never start it's
No more than you can handle
Don't be left behind
Don't be left behind
Don't be left behind, yeah
Don't be left behind
