B A E B Every night I dream the same dream B A E B Of getting older and older all the time B A E B I ask you now, what does this mean? B A E B Are these problems just in my mind? Things are easy when you're a child But now these pressures have dropped on my head The length I've gone are just long miles Would they be shorter if I were dead? Chorus: C D B Every time I look in my past C D B I always wish I was there C D B I wish my youth would forever last C D B Why are these times so unfair? Look at my friends and see what they've done Ask myself why they've had to change I like 'em better when they were young Now all these times are rearranged I look down and stand there and cry Nothing ever will be the same The sun is rising, now I ask why? The clouds now fall and here comes the rain Chorus Every night I dream the same dream Of getting older and older all the time I ask you now, what does this mean? Are these problems just in my mind? Things are easy when you're a child But now these pressures have dropped on my head The length I've gone are just long miles Would they be shorter if I were dead?
