I still can't find an easy way to say how I miss those days

When I could lie by the Christmas tree

And truly have no worries

And back then all I could ever need

Were plastic and cardboard things

Plastic and cardboard things

But now I find myself caught in a great multitude of sins

Cause I don't know why I can't explain

I'm getting older something's changing

And I can't find words to say

I never thought I'd have to face

The day when my youth would slip away from me

Cause I'm growing up too soon

And I still remember my best friend

How much I miss him

How much I miss him

I'd throw his ball

Watch him bring it back to me

Oh how he'd comfort me

Oh how he'd comfort me

Cause I don't know why I can't explain

I'm getting older something's changing

And I can't find words to say

I never thought I'd have to face

The day when my youth would slip away from me

Cause I'm growing up too soon

Life is slipping through my hands

Every day I find that I'm closer

To reaching the end of the road

When I look back what will I see?

Every second I've wasted

Every hour I threw I way

It all just fades away

Cause I don't know why I can't explain

I'm getting older something's changing

And I can't find words to say

I never thought I'd have to face

The day when my youth would slip away from me

Cause I'm growing up too soon
