Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh Looking through younger eyes Every moment froze in time I dreamt of all I could become I thought that I could be someone Now I work a nine to five Forty years till I retire I count the days until that comes How have I become so numb And I watch as the colors leave my eyes And I try to deny The vacancy that haunts me When I start to close my eyes And when I wake I'm afraid Of losing what ignites me To the jealous grip of time Oh, come back bright eyes Running with younger bones Chasing dreams became my home Heading fast to the unknown Wasn't scared of what I didn't know And then failure caught my eye It was then that I realized It'd hurt less if I didn't try The day that I believed a lie And I watch as the colors leave my eyes And I try to deny The vacancy that haunts me When I start to close my eyes And when I wake I'm afraid Of losing what ignites me To the jealous grip of time Oh, come back bright eyes Time's a thief And he plays for keeps you can't get it back I know that I have a choice to live with the time I have I know that I was made for more than this I know that I was made for more than this I know that I was made for more than this I know that I was made for more than this I know that I was made for more than this I know that I was made for more Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh, Wa-a-oh
