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 my house 

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

from what i can tell, its about a guy growing old, knowing hes going to die at 100, and taking us on a journey through major stages of his life.
thats just me.

Ya....it's just plain SAD. I mean, it'd be great 2 live 2 100, but wouldn't you like to at least have THE CHANCE to live longer?? It's disheartening...anyone else's opinion?

I understand that song thatway that ...a man takes a journey through his life...and so should we....and never look back and never feel sorry for anything we did...or something like that...
and it tells the young that there is still time to do and to try everything and that we should do that..we have our whole lives to feel and to be old
I personally like this song...

well i think the song is about wat every1else said, but its also about how living at a young age is the best age to live in, even if it doesnt seem like it then. Because as you get older, you gain more knowledge and you gain more resposibilities. When you're young, however, you're almost free, and you have this whole life ahead of u to do whatever you want as so it seems. when you're young, you have all this potential building up inside you, but once you reach a certain age you lose all that potential when you have more important thing to worry about in your life than dreams.

the song is good, but why this is one of the only songs i have seen a discussion on where ppl are looking for the meaning of it is beyond me. i really like the song and i do know that the video was shot in californnia after al fo those forest fires in 2002/3. (i can't remember what year it was)

This is an amazing song! I got a little sick of it for awhile because it was so overplayed. But I loved it immediately. It always makes me feel better.

I think this song means that our life is only a few moments so we had better live with what we got and not complain.

This is the song i am going submit for my grade 12 grad this year! it is amazing.

THis song also means that in time, things change, so we change with them.

We don't necassarilly live for 100 years. we COULD live 100 yeares, or we could live for 100 seconds. it all depends on what the world wants!

i agree with alot of the people above that this song really is about taking your life for granted. like when your 15 (which i am) and all you can dream of is growing up and getting out. the minute you really step into this world you can never go back. you can never be the same person you were before. this song is trying to tell you that you only have so much time to do what you want and to become who you want to be and that you should cherish what time you have to be free. i've been through so much and had to grow up so fast that i can see how wonderful it is to have a house to live in and be taken care of and loved, even if it means your not always happy about not being allowed to leave the house after 11. i just wish that there were some way to make people see this, but that would mean they would have to grow up the same way i did, and i don't wish that on anyone.
