| When I was a young boy
|
| I had a vision
|
| Of dreams that would become of me
|
| My late-night adventures
|
| My sweet youth surrender
|
| Learning who I’d rather be
|
| Well, I held on to my grandpa’s clock
|
| Gave it all that I had
|
| Life was an ocean
|
| And I was the captain
|
| Set on a journey to sea
|
| 'Cause I always wanted to be older
|
| But now that I’m older, I want to be young again
|
| Well, I want to be young again
|
| Now that I’m older
|
| I’m not too much stronger
|
| And there are scenes
|
| I want to see
|
| Go dancing in Nashville
|
| And backpack the Rockies
|
| Hold on to everything
|
| Fall asleep with
|
| New York City
|
| «Cali», is calling my name
|
| When North Carolina
|
| Meets old West Virginia
|
| Atlanta, please hold my hand
|
| 'Cause I always wanted to be older
|
| And now that I’m older, I want to be young again
|
| 'Cause I always wanted to be older
|
| But now that I’m older, I want to be young again
|
| Well, I want to be young again
|
| There was a time
|
| When I was much younger
|
| But now that’s well behind me
|
| 'Cause years turn to days
|
| And days turn to hours
|
| Lines in the reflections I see
|
| On the South Shore
|
| Outside Chicago
|
| Reality starts to creep in
|
| Now that I’m older
|
| The magic glows lower
|
| The old boat I struggle to see
|
| One Fourth of July
|
| It all sank in
|
| The world that I’d been living in
|
| It washed up there
|
| Right on the shore
|
| The world I’d seen
|
| I wanted nothing more
|
| Than to take the hand
|
| Of Miss Liberty
|
| And dance one last dance
|
| Just her and me
|
| We’ll make our footsteps
|
| On the shore
|
| All I cared was to have
|
| One moment
|
| More
|
| 'Cause I always wanted to be older
|
| But now that I’m older, I want to be young again
|
| 'Cause I always wanted to be older
|
| But now that I’m older, I want to be young
|
| Well, I want to be young again
|
| Want to be young again
|
| I want to be young again
|
| Want to be young again
|
| I want to be young again
|
| Want to be young again
|
| I want to be young again
|
| I want to be young again
|
| 'Cause I always wanted to be older
|
| But now that I’m older, I want to be young again |
