Million Years Ago

Lyrics

I only wanted to have fun
 Learnin' to fly, learnin' to run
 I let my heart decide the way
 When I was young
 Deep down I must have always known
 That this would be inevitable
 To earn my stripes I'd have to pay
 And bare my soul
 ♪
 I know I'm not the only one
 Who regrets the things they've done
 Sometimes I just feel it's only me
 Who can't stand the reflection that they see
 I wish I could live a little more
 Look up to the sky, not just the floor
 I feel like my life is flashing by
 And all I can do is watch and cry
 I miss the air, I miss my friends
 I miss my mother, I miss it when
 Life was a party to be thrown
 But that was a million years ago
 ♪
 When I walk around all of the streets
 Where I grew up and found my feet
 They can't look me in the eye
 It's like they're scared of me
 I try to think of things to say
 Like a joke of a memory
 But they don't recognise me now
 In the light of day
 ♪
 I know I'm not the only one
 Who regrets the things they've done
 Sometimes I just feel it's only me
 Who never became who they thought they'd be
 I wish I could live a little more
 Look up to the sky, not just the floor
 I feel like my life is flashing by
 And all I can do is watch and cry
 I miss the air, I miss my friends
 I miss my mother I miss it when
 Life was a party to be thrown
 But that was a million years ago
 A million years ago
 
 I only wanted to have fun
 Learnin' to fly, learnin' to run
 I let my heart decide the way
 When I was young
 Deep down I must have always known
 That this would be inevitable
 To earn my stripes I'd have to pay
 And bare my soul
 ♪
 I know I'm not the only one
 Who regrets the things they've done
 Sometimes I just feel it's only me
 Who can't stand the reflection that they see
 I wish I could live a little more
 Look up to the sky, not just the floor
 I feel like my life is flashing by
 And all I can do is watch and cry
 I miss the air, I miss my friends
 I miss my mother, I miss it when
 Life was a party to be thrown
 But that was a million years ago
