Song lyrics
I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm twenty-two for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars.

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

I'm thirty-three for a moment
Still the man, but you see, I'm a they
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

I'm forty-five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

Fifteen.... I'm all right with you
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty-seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm ninety-nine for a moment
And time for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Twenty-two.... I feel her too
Thirty-three.... You're on your way
Every day's a new day

Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooooooooooooooo

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose, hey
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

I personally like it because it's sad. It makes you want to have a good cry.

this song is awsome.... im honestly not the emotional type dude but this song always reminds me -even if for a brief moment- to live life to the fullest because every day in our lives is precious and it may not seem like much now but we should treat every day like an eternity... because u can never repeat even a single minute... it also reminds me that im 19 and my best 10 years are almost over but i should still enjoy the journey ahead... its the only song that has every really touched me in any way....

OMG this song is crap. It's so annoying with his stupid voice when he thinks he's hitting high notes.

This song is beautifull, who ever wrote this song is trully gifted and has the heart of a poet

He is singing about that life is short never regret anything , take chances, and wen ur 60 - 99 u will be wishing u had these young days back .... wat he is singing about i think it really moves you and u can relate to it cos were all living life this short life

& for those ppl who say that this song is sad cos living 100 years is short well thats life sorry to say but life is short whether u like it or not...& its probaly gonna be shorter than 100 years for most us .

This song is amazing

Great song. And somewhat because it brings to my mind the clip about the Red Sox Fox showed before game 4 of last year's World Series. Man, that clip makes me cry everytime I see it. Kudos to Fox on that and to F4F for this song of course...

I like this song. It reminds me of one of my friends, which might be why I like it so much.

Becides the fact that it is an awesome song with really good lyrics and a really good piano part as well.

What this man is saying is not simple, it is very hard to interpret, but he is saying that he gets older but he never ages. There still time. But hepesnomatter how old he is, 22, 33, 45, or 99 there is still hope that he can come in and do what he did when he was 15. At 99 he says "I'm dyin' just for another moment," he is dying to get one more moment to live, but he never loses hope. He takes what he has and uses it like there is no tomorrow, when I hear this song, I imagine a man aging, but he goes through troubles just like we do in our everyday lives, but he doesn't give up, there still time to do what he did at 15. He also says that these times are gone, everything I did I can't go back and fix them. So that's his message, that be careful what you do, because once its done, you can't change it, you can get around it, but it is still done.

Personally I felt that this song was trying to tell us something about the way we live our lives. Are we living it to the constant monotone of the human rat race, or for something deeper, more fulfilling? Great song.

What I like about this song is that it means something to everybody. What it meant to me is that teenagers (I'm 15) feel invincible, immortal even. Its a great feeling to know that you have your ENTIRE LIFE ahead of you. Your full of potential and possibilities. You want to change the world and there is no reason you cant.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

between 10 and 20 are the most dramatic 10 years in your life. never again will ten years make such an impact. your just dreamin of findin that perfect guy or girl to complete you

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

You arent your own person in the sense that you will forever be referred to as a they and you want a family


I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

The tide of your life is high and almost ready to go out. you want to make the most of your last years

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

your ready to die and go back to God and your true love.

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose

Your young and you still have time to change your life for the better. Make a difference!

This is a great song with meaningful lyrics and a catchy tune.
Go five for fighting!
