When I was young I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
N ow I'm s ure
You've boarded up e very d oor
Lived in a bubble days were never ending
Was not concerned about what life was sending
F antasy was r eal
Now I know m uch about the way I f eel
I'll paint you the p icture
'Cos I don't think you l ive round here no m ore
I've never even s een the key to the d oor
We only get what w e will settle f or
While we're l iving
The d reams we had as c hildren
Fade aw ay
While we're l iving
the d reams we had as c hildren
fade aw ay
While we're l iving
the d reams we had as c hildren
fade a way
While we're l iving
the d reams we had as c hildren
fade a way awa y aw ay
they fade a way awa y aw ay
N ow my life has turned another corner
I think it's only fair that I should warn yer
D ream it while you ca n
Maybe s omeday I'll make you understand
I'll paint you the p icture
'Cos I don't think you l ive round here no m ore
I've never even s een the key to the d oor
We only get what w e will settle f or
While we're l iving
The d reams we had as c hildren
Fade aw ay
While we're l iving
the d reams we had as c hildren
fade aw ay
While we're l iving
the d reams we had as c hildren
fade a way
While we're l iving
the d reams we had as c hildren
fade a way awa y aw ay
they fade a way awa y aw ay
