It was different back then 

Anything could happen 

Ideas as big as your fantasies could imagine 

Children practicing, that’s part of getting older 

Impatiently waiting for time to move forward 

Optimistic youngins running on adrenaline 

At the center of the universe begging for your attention 

Making a difference meant looking important 

No heroes were made that day, how unfortunate 

Came and went like adolescence took our wind and left us restless 

Now we want the wind that kept us alive and feeling refreshed 

They said it was of the essence 

To us time wasn’t precious 

There it goes now try and catch it 

Watch it go 



Focus focus 

Don’t miss a thing 

Wide eyed open 

Don’t miss a thing 

Can you afford your ambitions 

When we arrive we’ll start living 



Wow how awful the first time it felt impossible 

And the world around me was no longer wonderful 

I can’t give back your influence perspective is hard to undo 

Thank you for the experience 

Here’s some anxiety to keep you company as you waste your energy 

Trying to build your legacy 

Tell me what more can a man do then eat drink and enjoy his toil 

I want to be casual but taking it easy is too stressful 

Anticipation nowadays looks a lot more like anxious 

Time killed away our imaginations 

We used to escape into fantasies and fairytales 

Now we medicate 

How do you feel? 



Focus focus 

Don’t miss a thing 

Wide eyed open 

Don’t miss a thing 

Can you afford your ambitions 

When we arrive we’ll start living
