when I was young I thought I had my own key I knew exactly what I wanted to be now I'm sure you boarded up every door lived in a bubble days were neverending was not concerned about what life was sending fantasy was real but now I know much about the way I feel gonna paint you a picture I don't think you live round here no more never even seen the key to the door you 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 while we're living the dreams we have as children fade away away, away fade away, away, away and now my life has turned another corner I think it's only fair that I should warn you dream it while you can and maybe someday I'll make you understand I'm gonna paint you a picture I don't think you live round here no more never even seen the key to the door you only get what we will settle for while we're living the dreams we have as children they 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 while we're living the dreams we have as children fade away away, away fade away, away, away fade away, away, away fade away, away, away
