[Verse 1] There's a lump in my throat and it's getting harder to swallow It tastes of nostalgia, now I'm kickin' up the dust I can still smell the summer and the old days of [?] See 'em comin' around again, got me thinkin' of the days [Pre-Hook 1] Days when we were sittin' in the back, our hands [?] [?] give me all I need And now we're at the front where everybody wants to get into the driving seat Do you know how I'm feelin'? It wasn't like this when we were children, no, no Fighting back the future Swear I spent my youth thinking I could have it all Nothing's gonna stop us Time is all we got, but the ticking time takes its toll Do you know how I'm feelin'? It wasn't like this when we were children, no [Hook] And I know we all [?] in the end But I know that we can feel it again Life gives itself a new meaning Oh don't you know? You're the reason I won't forget when we were children [Verse 2] Testing the water, but it's pulling me under I'm searchin' for someone, if you're out there let me know I'm learning from stories and lines on your face That old [?], got me thinkin' of the days [Pre-Hook 2] Days when we were pushing back the sky When everything was worth a try, I really had it all But everything has changed, it's hard to turn the page And now I'm just a grown up fool Do you know how I'm feelin'? It wasn't like this when we were children, no [Hook] And I know we all [?] in the end But I know that we can feel it again Life gives itself a new meaning Oh don't you know? You're the reason I won't forget when we were children [Bridge] Down but I won't be beaten It wasn't like this when we were children Wake me up but don't stop me dreamin' After days back when we were children No, no, no, no [Hook] All I know is that we all [?] in the end But I know that we can feel it again Life gives itself a new meaning Oh don't you know? You're the reason I won't forget when we were children
