Fade Away

When I was young I thought I had my own key
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
And fantasy was real
Now I know much about the way I feel

I'm gonna paint you a picture
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 have as children fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children fade away, away, away
They're gonna fade away, away, away

But now my life has turned another corner
I think it's only fair that I should warn you
Dream it while you can
'Cause maybe someday I'll make you understand

Gonna paint you a picture
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 have as children fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children fade away

While we're living
The dreams we have as children fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children fade away, away, away

They're gonna fade away, away, away
They're gonna fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away

They're gonna fade away, away, away
They're gonna fade away, away, away
They're gonna fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away
