The same road leads to the same house
I wish this key would fit the door still
The same backyard but with a new fence
ooh yeah
See, I dont live here anymore
Daddy used to pick me up make me feel like I was flying
Momma used to laugh at me and I wasn't even trying
Never a worry on my mind,
I was the king, the world was mine
Everything is still the same except the time
Memories of the years I've left behind
but although im moving on, and I cant be forever young
The good days are forever in my mind
The same boy still getting in trouble
Oh, how we loved to bend the rules
The same old friends still hang in the courtyard
but this time to pick their children up from school
Never had a boring day, there was always something cooking
You know we never missed a thing, we were way too busy looking
We knew the words to every song, we were right and they were wrong
but most of all, we were right where we belong
Everything is still the same except the time (except the time)
Memories of the years I've left behind
But although Im moving on, and I cant be forever young
The good days are forever in my mind
What I'd give for just another day, of innocence I'd trade my right
if only it were just to run away from all these lies
haven't snuck their way inside
Everything's still the same except the time, good old time
Everything's still the same except the time (except the time)
Memories of the years I've left behind (I've left behind)
and although I'm movin' on and I can't be forever young
The good days are forever
oohoohooooh, {stuck in my mind
In my mind, in my mind and though} 2 X
said I remember the time I was a little boy, dreamin' of being a man
I was so young and convinced i knew it all, people didn't understand
no one ever knew what we did back then we had it all so figured out
the World at our feet our hearts on the street the only thing we cared about
