Lyrics

How I miss my younger days
Innocence kept fear away
Warmth of sunlight on my face
Was enough for things to be ok
Life is so much harder now
Hatefulness is screaming loud
Wish that I could drown it out
But I just don’t know how
Summer nights that I recall
Paper moons and painted dolls
When it didn’t hurt so much to feel
Oh how I would give it all
For paper moons and painted dolls
When the world wasn’t so real
My spirit has been growing thin
Need to find my second wind
Remember when I was a kid
Thought I was safe from all of this
Sometimes it’s hard to live in love
It takes everything I’m made of
And even when, when I’ve had enough
I know that I can’t give up
Summer nights that I recall
Paper moons and painted dolls
When it didn’t hurt so much to feel
Oh how I would give it all
For paper moons and painted dolls
When the world wasn’t so real
I often envy my younger self
The limitless and joy I felt
So I close my eyes and I try to see
And remember what it’s like to believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Summer nights that I recall
Paper moons and painted dolls
When it didn’t hurt so much to feel
Oh how I would give it all
For paper moons and painted dolls
When the world wasn’t so real
Wasn’t so real
Wasn’t so real
Wasn’t so real
