While 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 ending
Was not concerned about what life was sending
Fantasy was real
But now I know much about the way I feel
I’m gonna paint you a picture
I don’t think you live round here no more
Live round here no more
Never even seen the key to the door
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’re gonna fade away, away, away
Fade 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
Live round here no more
Never even seen the key to the door
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
Fade away, away, away
They’re gonna fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
They’re gonna fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Away
Away
Away
Away
They’re gonna fade away
Fade away
