Childhood

Not to say it was sweeter

It was a long time ago

But we carried ourselves much better

We never looked down our nose

I remember standing in line

Time has gotten behind us

Well, of course that's how it works

But time doesn't have to be so fixed

We can revamp every first

I remember standing in line

I think the hours rule us most of all

I think reflections fool us most of all

They seem to give us the slip

They seem to slip us at a roundabout

At a roundabout, the age where everything is fun

They seem to give us the slip

They seem to slip us at a roundabout

At a roundabout, the age where everything is fun

I believe in childhood

I believe it still exists

And I deserve childhood

I don't think there's such a risk

And you deserve childhood

You deserve it most of all

And she deserves childhood

She has the ways, the wherewithal

'Cause we were made for childhood

We were built to maintain this

And we can live in childhood if we want to
