CAN'T REPEAT
I woke the other day
And saw my world has changed
The past is over but tomorrow's wishful thinking
I can't hold onto what's been done
I can't grab onto what's to come
And I'm just wishing I could stop, but
Life goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can't repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We're all just wishing we could stop, but
[Enter your own lyrics HERE]
With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we've made
And sets another stage
And I'm just wishing we could stop
Life goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
Time rolls on

We're all just wishing we could stop, but
The future that we findNo time to stop rewind
The clock keeps ticking like a metronome, I'm sinking
The faces come and go
but we'll never back down so
We'll just keep wishing it would stop, but
With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we've made
And sets another stage
And I'm just wishing we could stop
Life goes on

There was a young lady from ealing,
Who had a peculiar feeling.
She lay on her back and......
Oh wait a sec. N'mind.

I think this may of been the reason for my failed attempts at being like my idols Blink-182 as a child.. or just my lack of musical talent..

Not quite as popular as our Tenacious D competition then lol.
Anywho, sadly it's time to end the Offspring competition now. So no more entries will be valid I'm afraid.
Umm, the closing date is not until Wednesday.
Bit unfair to end it earlier than the advertised date.
Takes a while to warm up the old grey matter when you get past 30 you know...
