Every night I dream the same dream 
Of getting 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 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 

Every night I dream the same dream 
Of getting 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
