Obstacle Course

If I could hold a mirror
To the boy that I used to be
I'd see your face staring back at me
And if you could see ahead
To the man that you'll become
You'd understand where I'm coming from

But you stare at me
And I stare back at you
And neither one can figure out
Our next move
And the years that separate us
Are an obstacle course
And it's gonna take some work
To get us through

There were times I wished
That I had a little help
From someone who had gone along
The path that I tread
And the knowledge I've acquired
Is the best thing I can share
With someone on his way
But not quite there

But you stare at me
And I stare back at you
And neither one can figure out
Our next move
And the years that separate us
Are an obstacle course
And it's gonna take some work
To get us through
Yeah!

I don't want you thinking
That you're not unique
When I say I know
How you really feel

But you stare at me
And I stare back at you
And neither one can figure out
Our next move
And the years that separate us
Are an obstacle course
And it's gonna take some work
To get us through
It’s gonna take some work to get us through
Yeah!
