Growing Older
We just wanna be ourselves again
Is that too much to ask?
Lifes like peeling paint off walls while walking on broken glass
And when we were children we never cared about what we lacked
We were busy making memories
Now the memories are all we have
The funny thing about yesterday
Is yesterday was really twenty years ago
We turned around and we closed our eyes
Said goodbye to the lives that we used to know and
And all we have are pictures of times gone by
While life grows colder and colder
A steady stream of no in between
As we go forward and continue growing older
Do you remember when we built the fort
Out of blankets and a pillowcase
And the pillowcase was the door
It was our secret little hiding place
We'd enter with a magic word
We were barely old enough to stay
Home alone on our own without mom and dad with us... us
The funny thing about yesterday
Is yesterday was really twenty years ago
We turned around and we closed our eyes
Said goodbye to the lives that we used to know and
And all we have are pictures of times gone by
While life grows colder and colder
A steady stream of no in between
As we go forward and continue growing older
We just wanna be ourselves again
Is that too much to ask?
Lifes like peeling paint of walls while walking on broken glass
The funny thing about yesterday
Is yesterday was really twenty years ago
We turned around and we closed our eyes
Said goodbye to the lives that we used to know and
And all we have are pictures of times gone by
While life grows colder and colder
A steady stream of no in between
As we go forward and continue growing older
Is that too much to ask?
Lifes like peeling paint off walls while walking on broken glass
And when we were children we never cared about what we lacked
We were busy making memories
Now the memories are all we have
The funny thing about yesterday
Is yesterday was really twenty years ago
We turned around and we closed our eyes
Said goodbye to the lives that we used to know and
And all we have are pictures of times gone by
While life grows colder and colder
A steady stream of no in between
As we go forward and continue growing older
Do you remember when we built the fort
Out of blankets and a pillowcase
And the pillowcase was the door
It was our secret little hiding place
We'd enter with a magic word
We were barely old enough to stay
Home alone on our own without mom and dad with us... us
The funny thing about yesterday
Is yesterday was really twenty years ago
We turned around and we closed our eyes
Said goodbye to the lives that we used to know and
And all we have are pictures of times gone by
While life grows colder and colder
A steady stream of no in between
As we go forward and continue growing older
We just wanna be ourselves again
Is that too much to ask?
Lifes like peeling paint of walls while walking on broken glass
The funny thing about yesterday
Is yesterday was really twenty years ago
We turned around and we closed our eyes
Said goodbye to the lives that we used to know and
And all we have are pictures of times gone by
While life grows colder and colder
A steady stream of no in between
As we go forward and continue growing older
