Not Enough Time

This is my last year to make things count
    Cause some of these faces I will never see again
      Even though there are ones I can live without
       There are ones that fill a good portion of my soul
              I have lots of room to hold
               But not enough time to keep them
                 I am going to miss everybody
                   You see little things matter a lot to me 
                      A simple hug when I walk through the door
                         Or a good shoulder to lean on 
                           I am going to miss it all
                             They say were growing up 
                                I want to tell them shut up
                              But I can't be rebellious anymore
                               Cause I know their right
                               They say hold on to childhood 
                              As long as god will allow
                               I think i'm reaching my max
                                 I want a do over
                                  This ended all to quickly
                                   Now I have to blink a little slower
                                     and hug a little longer
                                       and do everything extra
                                        Cause I don't know 
                                        When we will get the chance again
                                           and that though frightens me
