I sat and watched this city crumble
Just as it was being built
The bigger it gets, the less it's thought of
But I'm just scared of losing all that we have left

And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes
I hope some day, this will reverse
And send us back to the times before
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of clear blue skies and climbing trees
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

We used to just make friends so easily
Now they're judging anyone as how it's meant to be
Our parents were always heros in our eyes
But T.V. and magazines soon changed our minds

The colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes
I hope some day, this will reverse
And send us back to the times before
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of clear blue skies and climbing trees
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

I watched the ones I loved turn into rust
Wearing almost nothing, they go out after dusk
As if to be accepted, you need to sell your soul
They need to learn there's much more to this world

And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes
And I hope some day, this will all reverse
And send us back to the times before
Before we grew up and lost the novelty of clear blue skies and climbing trees
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
