The monsters that were once under my bed

Now you you can only find them in my head

And all our fears of make-believe were never there

When we were young, oh, when we were young

Seems like with every step we move away

From the feelings we’ll forget called yesterday

We never thought of tomorrow but still it came

When we were young, oh, when we were young

Don’t wanna be running, don’t wanna be hiding

Don’t wanna think about the morning

Wish I could be higher than I once was

Just wanna be falling forget about reasons

‘Cause somebody else picks up the pieces

Don’t wanna a care about all the things I’ve done

Like when we were young, when we were young

Never felt so old in my whole life

Still so young but I’m longing for the child inside

I wish I could to turn back time

To when we were young, oh, when we were young

Don’t wanna be running, don’t wanna be hiding

Don’t wanna think about the morning

Wish I could be higher than I once was

Just wanna be falling forget about reasons

‘Cause somebody else picks up the pieces

Don’t wannna a care about all the things I’ve done

Don’t wanna be running, don’t wanna be hiding

Don’t wanna think about the morning

Wish I could be higher than I once was

Just wanna be falling forget about reasons

‘Cause somebody else picks up the pieces

Don’t wannna a care about all the things I’ve done
