Once again it's gone away
It's a shame that nothing stays the same
The leaves change color, green to red

Dark hair turned grey
Time's wicked wand casts a spell that not even God can undo


Time out
I'm not playing
If I have to be 'it' I'm going home

I'm just saying that these aren't the rules
No one's supposed to feel this
Old


Outside the window children play
And you reminisce on your yesterday

Swing sets and bike rides, spelling bees
Roller coasters...
Time turns the world over like a kickball game


Time out
I'm not playing

If I have to be 'it' I'm going home
I'm just saying that these aren't the rules
No one's supposed to feel this


My arms are folded
My face a scowl

I stomp my feet and pout
Cause I'm gonna stay right here
Right here right now

Right now
Pick up sticks and fireflies
Camping trips and lullabies...
