lyrics

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 are 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
everytime 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
