lyrics

Long long time ago
We were young and wished we would grow
But now as we get old
Oh we’d die for that time that we let go

So share share what you learn
Don’t touch the fire or you might get burnt
But you see you think you know
Oh one day you’ll find out what you came here for

But oh I walked the other way
Please don’t let me fall asleep
I may not wake
from these dreams I had were
Burning to the ground
All these dreams I had were
Burning to the ground

Long long time ago
We used to be here now we always got to go
Cause we think that all this time
Is creeping up our legs until we die

Share share what you learn
Don’t touch the fire or you might get burnt
But you see you think you know
Oh one day you’ll find out what you came here for

But oh I walked the other way
Please don’t let me fall asleep
I may not wake
From these dreams I had were
Burning to the ground
All these dreams I had were
Burning to the ground

But I swear I’ll try my best to find
What’s locked inside this heart of mine
And I’ll warm your soul when you get cold
As our minds stay young
And our bodies get old

But oh I walked the other way
Please don’t let me fall asleep
I may not wake
From these dreams I had were
Burning to the ground
All these dreams I had were
Burning to the ground
