Lyrics Children - Tom Prior

Children

There’s a lump in my throat and it’s getting harder to swallow
It tastes of nostalgia, now I’m kickin' up the dust
I can still smell the summer and the old days of
See 'em comin' around again, got me thinkin' of the days
Days when we were sittin' in the back, our hands
give me all I need
And now we’re at the front where everybody wants to get into the driving seat
Do you know how I’m feelin'?
It wasn’t like this when we were children, no, no
Fighting back the future
Swear I spent my youth thinking I could have it all
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Time is all we got, but the ticking time takes its toll
Do you know how I’m feelin'?
It wasn’t like this when we were children, no
And I know we all in the end
But I know that we can feel it again
Life gives itself a new meaning
Oh don’t you know?
You’re the reason I won’t forget when we were children
Testing the water, but it’s pulling me under
I’m searchin' for someone, if you’re out there let me know
I’m learning from stories and lines on your face
That old, got me thinkin' of the days
Days when we were pushing back the sky
When everything was worth a try, I really had it all
But everything has changed, it’s hard to turn the page
And now I’m just a grown up fool
Do you know how I’m feelin'?
It wasn’t like this when we were children, no
And I know we all in the end
But I know that we can feel it again
Life gives itself a new meaning
Oh don’t you know?
You’re the reason I won’t forget when we were children
Down but I won’t be beaten
It wasn’t like this when we were children
Wake me up but don’t stop me dreamin'
After days back when we were children
No, no, no, no
All I know is that we all in the end
But I know that we can feel it again
Life gives itself a new meaning
Oh don’t you know?
You’re the reason I won’t forget when we were children
