They Told Me

Remember when we used to ride our bikes through the empty school?
Remember when we used to try to climb up on the roof?
Remember when we used to build those forts in the living room?
Nobody could get to us
Remember when we used to behind the baker’s?
Remember when we used to skate outside the ice cream maze?
Remember when we used to run when the cops would try to take us?
Nobody could get to us
They told me that life starts fading
They told me their heart starts breaking
They told me the ground starts shaking
And the innocence dies
They told me that life starts racing
They told me the man starts chasing
They told me their heart starts aching
But I’m still a child inside
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
They told me that life starts racing
They told me the man starts chasing
They told me their heart starts aching
But I’m still a child inside
Nobody could get to us
Remember when we used to swing from trees down at the river?
Remember when we used to bring our knees up to our chins?
Remember when we used to ride the river flow forever?
Nobody could get to us
Remember when we used to play that game of backyard cricket?
Remember when we used to lay that crate down as the wicket?
Remember when we used to run out every time we hit it?
Nobody could get to us
But I’m still a child inside
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
They told me that life starts racing
They told me the man starts chasing
They told me their heart starts aching
But I’m still a child inside
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
They told me that life starts fading
They told me their heart starts breaking
They told me the ground starts shaking
And the innocence dies
They told me that life starts racing
They told me the man starts chasing
They told me their heart starts aching
But I’m still a child inside
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
(Nobody could get to us)
