i've been down this way before and i've always walked this way
but i never saw the things that i saw today
the sun it always shines
it's never been any other way
but somehow it just looks strange today.
open your eyes change your view
see the things that all surround you
close your eyes you don't care
missed everything cause it wasn't there.
the playground where you played has all been bulldozed away
now you wish that you could have stayed young today
and your mom cried lots of tears when you packed and you moved away
now you long for those past years today.
you grew up
you wised up
you left your youth behind
now older and colder
do you really think that you're doing fine.
varicose.
don't leave your youth behind
there's too much here to just close your eyes
because everything i had i gave it all away
and all of my hair has turned to gray
and everything i've lost cannot be found
and it's times like this that i wish i could get my head back off the ground.
