Summary: A man longing to be a kid again.



  Some long for the years of no work, all play
  Some wish their senses were still in their prime
  Some people simply miss the good old days
  We all want to turn back the hands of time

  I never wanted to be a grownup
  We used to fear them, called them evil
  I always said I'd never grow up
  And leave you to go with the bad people

  Oh, how I wish I could have kept my word
  Just stayed with you in our secret place
  Where our parents never knew we were
  Wiping the tears from each other's face

  Or better yet, in better days
  Late nights of rowdy pillow fights
  Early morning sugar and cartoon craze
  Those years were like the speed of light

  They said we were too young for romance
  We didn't care, we were inseparable
  Sneaking kisses whenever we had the chance
  But times change, it's inevitable

  Now, we live in two different worlds
  And it seems that I left my heart behind
  You're wearing it like a string of pearls
  I shouldn't love you, but it's just my design

  You pass by without a single glance
  I'm young, myself, but not young enough
  I don't even have a chance
  You'll get scared or call my bluff

  I miss the days where you and I played house
  I was the boy who gave you your first kiss
  Now I'm old enough to give you a real spouse
  What an interesting, yet sad, twist

  Other boys step in with no trouble
  And my heart shatters and hits the ground
  From up here, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle
  We made together when you were around

  Lucky you, you'll never know this feeling
  As I move further out of your range
  You watch from above my glass ceiling
  Immortal angels, you're not meant to change
