Lyrics

Had enough existing day to day
Set out to find if there might be a better way
Another sunny afternoon I watch the children play
Seems like they're growing up so fast

One more year has slipped through my hands
Indecision killing all my plans
I pretend I don't notice again
As if it doesn't matter

Looking back on the changes that I've seen
The best years of my life all seem so few and far between
It's so much better now the best it's ever been
I'm just afraid that it won't last

Paranoid down deep in my soul
Scared of dying scared of growing old
I don't know what the future will hold
But maybe that is better

CHORUS:
Goodbye to innocence
Goodbye to youth
Goodbye to ignorance
I'll miss you too

Girl you know you make me feel good
Believe in me I know that I should
When you hold me make me feel good inside
And you ease my worried mind

CHORUS: (repeat)

Had enough existing day to day
Set out to find if there might be a better way
Another sunny afternoon I watch the children play
Seems like they're growing up so fast
