Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older all the time
I ask you now, what does this mean?

Are these problems just in my mind?
Things are easy when you're a child
But now these pressures have dropped on my head

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
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
I like them better when they were young
Now all these times are rearranged

I look down and stand there and cry
Nothing ever will be the same
The sun is rising, now I ask why?

The clouds now fall and here comes the rain

Every time I look in my past

I always wish I was there
I wish my youth would forever last
Why are these times so unfair


Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older all the time

I ask you now, what does this mean?
Are these problems just in my mind?
Things are easy when you're a child

But now these pressures have dropped on my head
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

I wish my youth would forever last
Why are these times so unfair
