We took off one day becoming heroes The world was ours to have, there would be no mistakes And we would walk tall and proud The music we went for was faster and loud Never thought about things going wrong We stood equally strong As time went by, we lost track of each other Alone we went and got into the daily grind And I can't help it, but sometimes I reminisce about all those days long gone by We built up this void in our hearts Let it all fall apart If we could buy more time We would stand aside We opened up the gates and swallowed life She caught me as I nearly fell Defined how to make it all worthwhile We took off one day to become heroes A fact we just never did realize Now we think it's so much better We were young, we'd live forever She caught me as I nearly fell These are stories to tell If we could buy more time We would stand aside We opened up the gates and swallowed life She caught me as I nearly fell Defined how to make it all worthwhile She caught me as I nearly fell These are stories to tell She gave me a reason to go on
