Every night I dream the same dream
|
Of getting older all the time
|
I ask you now, what does this mean?
|
Are these problems just in my mind?
|
Things are easy when you're a child
|
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
|
The length I've gone are just long miles
|
Would they be shorter if I were dead
|
|
Every time I look in my past
|
I always wish I was there
|
I wish my youth would forever last
|
Why are these times so unfair
|
|
Look at my friends and see what they've done
|
Ask myself why they had to change
|
I like them better when they were young
|
Now all these times are rearranged
|
I look down and stand there and cry
|
Nothing ever will be the same
|
The sun is rising, now I ask why?
|
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain
|
|
Every time I look in my past
|
I always wish I was there
|
I wish my youth would forever last
|
Why are these times so unfair
|
|
Every night I dream the same dream
|
Of getting older all the time
|
I ask you now, what does this mean?
|
Are these problems just in my mind?
|
Things are easy when you're a child
|
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
|
The length I've gone are just long miles
|
Would they be shorter if I were dead
|
|
Every time I look in my past
|
I always wish I was there
|
I wish my youth would forever last
|
Why are these times so unfair
