Fade Away

When I was young, I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I'm sure you've boarded up every door

Lived in a bubble days were never all ending
Was not concerned about what life was sending
Fantasy was real, now I know much about the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause 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 fade away, away, away

Now my life has turned another corner
I think it's only best that I should warn you
Dream it while you can, maybe someday I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause 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 fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away, fade away, away, away
