dreaming to be dead Lyrics

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
