HEART OF THE YOUNG

I remember this boy in my head
Making forts in the sheets of this bed
Turning all of the blankets and pillows
Into planets and space ships
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 far 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 reams 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

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
