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