Turning one, your very first birthday
Enjoy your toys and liking boys before the simple world fades
Sixteen, and you're behind the wheel
It's the day you've always dreamed of
Is it as great as you thought it'd feel
Eighteen, and high school's all done
You graduated, aren't you elated
To be rid of all that youthful fun
Well, age just keeps on coming
And time just flies by
You go from thirteen in your thirties
In what felt just like July
The months just slip right through our hands
As we dream of what's ahead
Little do we realize we're dreaming to be dead
Twenty-two, comes time to graduate
Spent four years studying for a degree
In a job you'll learn to hate
Next several years they start to look the same
You settle down in some small town
Where no one even knows your name
Well, age just keeps on coming
And time just flies by
You go from thirteen in your thirties
In what felt just like July
The months just slip right through our hands
As we dream of what's ahead
Little do we realize that we're dreaming to be dead
You never know when it's the good old days
Before you see it, you have to leave it
It's real troubling that way
Well, age just keeps on coming
And time just flies by
You go from thirteen in your thirties
In what felt just like July
The months just slip right through our hands
As we dream of what's ahead
Little do we realize that we're dreaming to be dead
