Oh look how the years go
Dad you used to be superman
Mom you were the medicine
I can't stand to see you grow old
Please don't let these years win
We went from being carried around
To carrying the burdens that we found
Life isn't as simple as our fantasy childhood
I knew it seemed too good
Time was annoying
And time is now showing
The truth
Dad your power is turning to wisdom
And mom your medicine's now for you
The cigarettes are speeding the process
And I'm afraid of what we can't undo
We went from being carried around
To carrying the burdens that we found
Life isn't as simple as our fantasy childhood
I knew it seemed too good
Time was annoying
And time is now showing
The truth
Look at the smile lines form
Like a map of where you've been
And I'm hoping one of those roads
Leads to a place where life never ends
Come on let's carry them
We went from being carried around
To carrying the burdens that we found
Life isn't as simple as our fantasy childhood
I knew it seemed too good
Time was annoying
And time is now showing
The truth
