I think this song is basically saying "don't wish your life away, it'll all get here soon enough"...I'm on the downhill run from 50, and sometimes it's like, if I could go back and know then what I know now, things might be different...but you can't go back, and even if you could, would you want to change anything? I don't know that I would, it's the lessons you learn on the way that make you who you are... thanks Billy for the great music you've been doing lately, have a good one mate :))

Everyone goes through this experience, “If I was just ‘this’ old”, then the number changes, and it changes again. Now that I’m in my mid-30s I’m good, time can go ahead and stop making me older. Not gonna happen, but I learned my lesson… crazy to think I’ll be 40 in the not too distant future. I remember being stupid at 16, even though I kinda knew I was being stupid, but it didn’t matter… what’s the worst that can happen?
