Some long for the years of no work, all play
Some wish their senses were still in their prime
Some people simply miss the good old days
We all want to turn back the hands of time

I never wanted to be a grownup
We used to fear them, called them evil
I always said I'd never grow up
And leave you to go with the bad people

Oh, how I wish I could have kept my word
Just stayed with you in our secret place
Where our parents never knew we were
Wiping the tears from each other's face

Or better yet, in better days
Late nights of rowdy pillow fights
Early morning sugar and cartoon craze
Those years were like the speed of light

They said we were too young for romance
We didn't care, we were inseparable
Sneaking kisses whenever we had the chance
But times change, it's inevitable

Now, we live in two different worlds
And it seems that I left my heart behind
You're wearing it like a string of pearls
I shouldn't love you, but it's just my design

You pass by without a single glance
I'm young, myself, but not young enough
I don't even have a chance
You'll get scared or call my bluff

I miss the days where you and I played house
I was the boy who gave you your first kiss
Now I'm old enough to give you a real spouse
What an interesting, yet sad, twist

Other boys step in with no trouble
And my heart shatters and hits the ground
From up here, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle
We made together when you were around

Lucky you, you'll never know this feeling
As I move further out of your range
You watch from above my glass ceiling
Immortal angels, you're not meant to change
