had a dream and you and me... we looked so young, girl
days had never passed by
This world was huge, no time for blues, no time for jobs or rules
just to kids getting high.
I woke up sad, too tired to run, so shy to face it and find a reason to fight
I need a clue to find your room
I need a way to fit into your arms
Time to get older, time to lose this little shine in your eyes.
Our time is over, why'd you keep your eyes shuttered... if you can't fly?
I tried to run
I tried to fight
I tried to do what it's right
I tried to cry
I tried to smile
I tried to break this guitar
I'm getting old
I'm fading lost
just trying to find your eyes into the crowd.
Time to get older, what if we lose the shine in our eyes.
Time is not over. Hold my hand, push my chest, touch the sky.
You make strong, girl!
Better keep your eyes shuttered...
and fly!
