I remember this boy in my head
Making forts in the sheets of his bed
Turning all of the blankets and pillows
Into planets and spaceships
I imagine the smile on his face
As he floated away into space
And I think about how I've been living
Missing all of those feelings
So what if I, what if I still long
For a time, for a time long gone
Back when I, back when I still thought I could fly?
They say dreams can die and life is war but we got love
Keep the past alive; it's in our souls, it's in our blood
And it's worth the pain not to hide away every memory one by one
They say dreams can die but we can't hide, no, we can't hide
The heart of the young

I remember the air was so thin
Only way left to breathe was to give in
I was drowning inside
And the water never really receded
So what if I, what if I still long
For a time, for a time long gone
Back when I, back when I still thought I could fly?
They say dreams can die and life is war but we got love
Keep the past alive; it's in our souls, it's in our blood
And it's worth the pain not to hide away every memory one by one
They say dreams can die but we can't hide, no, we can't hide
The heart of the young

Take me, take me back in time
I need to learn to fly
Take me, take me back in time
I need the strength to fight
They say dreams can die and life is war but we got love
Keep the past alive; it's in our souls, it's in our blood
And it's worth the pain not to hide away every memory one by one
They say dreams can die but we can't hide, no, we can't hide
