When I was young I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now Im sure
Youve boarded up every door
Lived in a bubble, days were never ending
Was not concerned about what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much about the way I feel
Ill paint you the picture
Cause I dont think you live round here no more
Ive never even seen the key to the door
We only get what we will settle for
While were living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While were living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While were living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While were 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 its only best that I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday Ill make you understand
Ill paint you the picture
Cause I dont think you live round here no more
Ive never even seen the key to the door
We only get what we will settle for
While were living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While were living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While were living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While were 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
