Lyrics

Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older and older all the time		(Verse 1)
I ask you now, what does this mean?
Are all these problems just in my mind?

Things are easy when you're a child
But now these pressures have dropped on my head	(Verse 2)
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			(Chorus)
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		(Verse 3)
I like them better when they were young
But now these times are rearranged

I look down and stand there and cry
Nothing ever will be the same			(Verse 4)
The sun is rising, now I ask why
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Verse 1)
(Verse 2)
(Chorus)
