7

[Verse 1]

8 years old, we're told

"You're too young to unlearn how to smile and hate the world

8 years from now on

You'll forget the art of carefreeness and little girls

So 6 young hearts kick start and venture

Into a labyrinth of question marks

Mischievous, wide-eyed

We had nothing to hide, our smiles were bonafide

[Chorus 1]

We dreamed of superpowers

Meteor showers

Climbing towers

Magic mermaids

Flying ships and finding home

In our unlocked golden coffer, all wе had was love to offer

A currency that oncе was just enough

Guess we grew up

[Verse 2]

These days we've ceased to give a frail and feeble damn

We've got new better plans

Crystal clear, each year

Since June of 2010, we've grown cavalier and bland

[Chorus 2]

We used to dance in rainstorms

Fight our battles, win the whole war

We spoke in flames and held hands while we burned

Now all we ever do is vomit apathy

We mop it with apologies, I'm sorry's

I worry...

I worry

We grew up

[Bridge]

Things have changed and minds have aged

We're so far in this unfeasible maze

When did black and white decide to propagate

'Cause everything now seems so, gray

We've forgotten the beats of our own drums

We've lost touch of tunes we used to hum

We smell of sin and no longer bubblegum

Our season is yet to come

Were houses with water stained walls

We're standing but no longer tall

When did we stop having a ball

I don't recall, I don't recall

[Outro]

Here we are, so far

We've walked a lonely road

We're like nomads finding home

But somewhere far inside the 8 year old resides

Whispering you'll be alright

So let us live, let live

Forgive and hope we don't

Fail the souls we used to know

Let's walk each other home

Little souls please don't let go

This unknown is ours to roam

Our little souls will walk us home
