We loved when the rain called We'd move without a sound Our eyes gazed high under night skies Now, I'm only a man, I'm only a man We'd collide like bats with the moonlight No end could keep us down Young vibes set free by our young lives Now, I'm only a man, I'm only a man Odd years later and I'm troubled as I step outside On a painful dizzy night I can feel the ground spinning and it shocks my skin I can feel it shock my skin Hard times cutting deep And it makes me miss my childhood friends All the better times we spent Nothing else seemed to matter but the air in our lungs Now I want to turn back around Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide Wish I could just sense better days Where the winds were as soft as the clouds Blistering sun, innocent like rebellion From our restless mouths I just can't believe that nothing is what it seems Used to be so young, unaware of everything We grew up so fast, now our hearts feel every beat I want out Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide We loved when the rain called We'd move without a sound Our eyes gazed high under night skies Now, I'm only a man, I'm only a man Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide
