  • If at some point we all succumb
    For goodness sake, let us be young
    'Cause time gets harder to outrun
    And I'm nobody, I'm not done
    With a cool, cool breeze and dirty knees
    I rest on childhood memories
    We all got old at breakneck speed
    Slow it down, go easy on me

    Go easy on me
    Ah
    Ah
    Ah

    Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
    Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
    Put a T-shirt on, do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

    If it's up and after you
    What do you suppose that you would do?
    You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
    You blame it on the friends you keep
    Well, you wanna do things differently
    Go do them independently
    We all got old at breakneck speed
    Slow it down, go easy on me

    Go easy on me
    Ah
    Ah
    Ah

    Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
    Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
    Put a T-shirt on, do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
    Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
    Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
    Put a T-shirt on, do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

    Does holy water make you pure?
    Submerged, your vision's just obscured
    You're a lot like me
    In up to our knees
    In over your chest is way too deep

    So put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
    Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
    Put a T-shirt on, do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
    Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
    Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
    Put a T-shirt on, do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong Writer/s: Arni Hjorvar Arnason, Freddie Clayton Cowan, Justin James Hayward-Young, Peter Gareth Christopher Robertson
