the rivers that flow and grow on the street
the street that I coulda grown up on, but didn't
didn't take the chance to dance last time
time is running out and I can't stand
stand to grow up and still be told
told that I can't because I'm too old.
Too old to be watching Disney
Disney still lets me dream
dream as the stars gleam late at night
night is my Disney get-away time
time is running out and I can't stand
stand to grow up and still be told
told that I can't because I'm too old.
too old for climbing in trees
trees that I can finally reach
reaching for the next branch to climb
climb away from my lost time
time is running out and I can't stand
stand to grow up and still be told
told that I can't because I'm too old.
stand to grow up and still be told
told that I can't because I'm too old.
old in body but young in my mind
my mind is crammed with all of this junk
junk acquired from growing up
growing up and out of time
time is running out and I can't stand
stand to grow up and still be told
told that I can't because I'm too old.
stand to grow up and still be told
told that I can't because I'm too old.
Very nice touch
