Running through the backyard tripping around was a joy
The love of a girl and a boy was invisible to me.
My fingers fumbled while tying my shoes,
What`s the use? I said as I ran again you see
Chorus:
KoolAid dreams and teddy bear memories
The freedom of youth never meant so much to me
Adolesence rips at the days long gone by
Only now I`m too old to cry,
Now I`m too old to cry...
Now I try to make the grade for everyone but myself
Everyone else expects the universe of me
It seems like I`m feeling older everyday
I say Hey, well freedom should be easy!
(Chorus)
When I die I want written on my stone
She was alone, but a world unto herself.
When I get into the real world out there
I won`t give a care about anybody else
(Chorus)
Fashion doll dreams and candy cane memories
The freedom of truth never meant so much to me
Adolesence rips at truths long gone by
But I`m too scared to fly
I`m too scared to fly...
But I`m too old to cry
I`m too old.....to cry...
