oK, so I see the category says rock, but sounds pretty country to me. although I agree with the lyric (because it's obvious).. one of the things I was always told by my mentors was "don't tell me, show me".

My friend Chris Wallin wrote it this way:

Don't blink, just like that you're six years old And you take a nap And you wake up and you're twenty-five And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife'

See how that gets your attention?

He used to play that song at the Broken Spoke in Nashville and I loved it even before he had a cut years later.

The arrangement was very pretty, well done.

"It Mattered to THAT One"
