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 all 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
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
While we´re living, the dreams we have as children fade away
Away, away, they fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away, fade away, away, away
