Lyrics
When I was young I thought I had my own key I knew exactly what I wanted to be Now I'm sure You've boarded up every door

Lived in a bubble Days were never ending Was not concerned About what life was sending Fantasy was real Now I know much About the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture 'Cause I don't think you live round here no more I've never even seen The key to the door We only get what we will settle for

While we're living The dreams we have as children Fade away While we're living The dreams we have as children Fade away While we're living The dreams we have as children Fade away, away, away They fade away, away, away

Now my life has turned Another corner I think it's only best That I should warn you Dream it while you can Maybe someday I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture 'Cause I don't think you live round here no more I've never even seen The key to the door We only get what we will settle for

While we're living The dreams we have as children Fade away While we're living The dreams we have as children Fade away While we're living The dreams we have as children Fade away They fade away, away, away Fade away, away, away
