about

why must the human condition peak so early? / this song implores God to stop things while we're in our prime

lyrics

Thank you god, but I think I'll take it from here / you did a bang up job with those eighteen years / Now my life is such a joy to behold / I have lost all interest in getting old / If I could ... Freeze time ... Why wouldn't I
If I could ... Freeze time ... I would ...while I'm / Poor economically / Rich in autonomy / liberal minded in my thinking / got health and agility / social flexibility
and copious occasions for drinking / I'd be a nutcase to tell you I want to escape / I'd have a sick mind to willingly leave this behind / But I know that every now and then / I am bound to step on toes and offend / realize it's not my real intent/ I would rather be friends /Finally time is mine to manage and keep / Though I've been neglecting to scheduling sleep / Maybe that's because my heart is aware / that this part of life is without compare / If I could ... Freeze time ... Why wouldn't I / If I could ... Freeze time ... I would ...while I'm / Here on my mission to find some erudition /
sample the fruits of Mother Nature / Goin' through a pile of friends on speed dial / And asking them what they're doing later / I'd be a nutcase to tell you I want to escape / I'd have a sick mind to willingly leave this behind / But I know that every now and then / I am bound to step on toes and offend / realize it's not my real intent/ I would rather be friends
