Every night I dream the same dream
 Of getting older and older all the time
 I ask you now, what does this mean?
 Are these problems just in my mind?
 Things are easy when you're 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?
 Every time 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've 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
 Every time I look in my past
 I always wish I was there
 I wish my youth would forever last
 Why are these times so unfair?
