Can I wake up now? Will you make it okay? Can we just pretend Like we did yesterday? Has it really been so long? Have I really missed that much? I cannot seem to reach you Why am I so out of touch? Oh no, say it ain't so I just never wanted to grow old Oh I don't wanna say goodbye To the kids I used to know Oh, when did you find the time To grow without me? 20 years doesn't seem so long If you take it day by day When did everything go all wrong When did I decide to throw it all away? I can't help it if I can't keep up I can't walk along the path they laid I can't help it if I can't keep up How am I supposed to not be afraid? Oh no, say it ain't so I just never wanted to grow old Oh I don't wanna say goodbye To the kids I used to know Oh, when did you find the time To grow without me? I'm sorry that I'm such a disappointment I never found a way to believe my lies Nobody sees the world quite like I do Looking through these nightmare eyes Oh no, say it ain't so I just never wanted to grow old Oh I don't wanna say goodbye To the kids I used to know Oh, when did you find the time To grow without me?
