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 ending

Was not concerned

About what life was sending

Fantasy was real

But now I know much about the way I feel

Don't paint you the picture

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 gonna 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

Don't paint you the picture

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

Fade away, away, away

They gonna fade away, away, away

Fade away, away, away

Fade away(fade away)

Fade away(fade away)

Fade away(fade away)

They gonna fade away, away, away(fade away)

Fade away(fade away)

Fade away(fade away)

Away(away)

Away(away)

They gonna fade away, away, away(fade away)
