Lights were lights and shapes did not equate faces,
but the sounds remain the same and hit the right places,
take me home.
Remember when we dreamt we could fly?
Doesn’t seem so strange in the night..
All they do is take it away from you
All they do is take it away, don’t let them take it away
Hold on to what you want, you don’t want to be one of those cynical cynicals
Hold on to what you know was true
Hold on to what you want you don’t want to be one of those cynical cynicals
Hold on to what you know is true
Feelings were just feelings, but your body was smaller.
You can contain them so much better when you’re taller.
Remember when I mapped it out on paper
and wondered where we’d be ten years later?
All they do is take it away from you
All they do is take it away, don’t let them take it away
Hold on to what you want, you don’t want to be one of those cynical cynicals
Hold on to what you know was true
Hold on to what you want you don’t want to be one of those cynical cynicals
Hold on to what you know is true
Toys were toys, but we were soldiers.
The music is my shield in the trenches, keep me safe.
Remember when we looked at the stars?
We didn’t know how close they are..
Hold on to what you want, you don’t want to be one of those cynical cynicals
Hold on to what you know was true
Hold on to what you want you don’t want to be one of those cynical cynicals
Hold on to what you know is true
All they do is take it away from you
All they do is take it away, don’t let them take it away!
