| Lyrics |
My legs are tired, just half the day is gone
Sweat burns my eyes and makes it hard to see
I used to think that growing up was fun
Now every year there's more I've gotta be
I guess we thought we'd never age
Ooh, we were so wrong
Now it's as if we're in a cage
Oh why does learning take so long
Chorus:
There's so much I still haven't tried
I know the feelings are still deep inside
But I can't find out where they hide -since
The child is gone
The things our parents used to say
We never understood their thoughts
All we wanted was to play
Not listen to the things they taught
I know that was different before, but now it isn't true
When our whole world consisted of only me and you
But now my fantasy is through -since
The child is gone
Another day has passed me by
I've only done the things I must
I cannot feel the urge to try
When my emotions lay in rust
Repeat Chorus
