Fade Away

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-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
