When I was feeling 'bout 16 I never had no idea Listen to me, if you wanna know what I mean Your expression will let me see I never knew what I was looking for I never had the time And now that time has opened up my door Now I'm looking forward just to see what, just what's mine When I was feeling 'bout 18 It's then when I began to see No matter how hard you push on the door It won't open without the key Opportunity only knocks once If you shut it out, it's a sin And when something keeps right on poundin' My friend, you better let it in Now I feel just a little bit old And sadness fills my brain I can flash to future years And nothing is the same Nothing is the same Nothing is the same Nothing is the same
