Child
I don't know why I need to grow old
I guess I'm just doing what I've always been told
I've got to feel the pressure – if I don't something's wrong
Everyone seems to know where I belong
Put me in the place you see me
Frame me on your wall
If I don't fit into your style of art
I don't fit in at all
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
-- Didn't know this is what Adulthood's supposed to mean
There's a child inside of me and often he cries
Because everyone says he has to change, but no-one can say why
And when they won't relent I feel the waves of pain
As once again I'm forced into someone else's frame
They direct the play I'm in
I answer to their calls
If I don't fit into their script of life
I don't fit in at all
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
-- Didn't know this is what Adulthood's supposed to mean
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
-- Didn't know this is what Adulthood's supposed to mean
Youth of Years
Control your fears
Embrace the startling cold
And do not fight
The sharp wind's bite
It's natural to get old
Still the child inside of me continues to cry and cry
But he's losing control no matter how hard he tries
Now and then I still feel waves of shame
As I hammer away building my own frame
Tell me again the place you see me
My frame's ready in the hall
And pretty soon – yeah, I'll climb in
To be hanged upon the wall
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
-- Didn't know this is what Adulthood's supposed to mean
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
-- But I'm starting to learn what Adulthood's supposed to mean
I thought I'd fly and I thought I'd sing
Thought I'd do so many things
And now I know what's wrong with dreams
-- Finally learned what Adulthood's supposed to mean
I guess I'm just doing what I've always been told
I've got to feel the pressure – if I don't something's wrong
Everyone seems to know where I belong
Put me in the place you see me
Frame me on your wall
If I don't fit into your style of art
I don't fit in at all
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
-- Didn't know this is what Adulthood's supposed to mean
There's a child inside of me and often he cries
Because everyone says he has to change, but no-one can say why
And when they won't relent I feel the waves of pain
As once again I'm forced into someone else's frame

If I don't fit into their script of life
I don't fit in at all
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
-- Didn't know this is what Adulthood's supposed to mean
I want to fly and I want to sing
I want to do so many things
And I don't understand what's wrong with dreams
