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 'Cos 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 had as children Fade away While we're living the dreams we had as children fade away While we're living the dreams we had as children fade away While we're living the dreams we had as children fade away  away  away        they fade away  away  away        Now my life has turned another corner I think it's only fair that I should warn yer Dream it while you can Maybe someday I'll make you understand I'll paint you the picture 'Cos 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 had as children Fade away While we're living the dreams we had as children fade away While we're living the dreams we had as children fade away While we're living the dreams we had as children fade away  away  away        they fade away  away  away
