Ok you can see the whole song in the poetry and songs section, I've just posted it. You may understand it more.
Thanks again. |

It’s not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,
To be calm when
you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

It's still hard to tell what 'going on' means here, Sara. With the other context, the father telling the son that he can marry, it doesn't seem like my first idea was completely accurate, though it can't be ruled out.
I guess it's time to ask Cat, "What did/do you mean by ...?"
We do this all the time in language. We understand all the words, the structures but we just miss the intended meaning.
