We loved when the rain called. We'd move without a sound. Our eyes gazed high under night skies. Now, I'm only a man. I'm only a man. We'd collide like bats with the moonlight. No end could keep us down. Young vibes set free by our young lives. Now, I'm only a man. I'm only a man. Odd years later and I'm troubled as I step outside On a painful dizzy night. I can feel the ground spinning and it shocks my skin. I can feel it shock my skin. Hard times cutting deep and it makes me miss my childhood friends. All the better times we spent, Nothing else seemed to matter but the air in our lungs. Now I want to turn back around. Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense. I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide. Wish I could just sense better days Where the winds were as soft as the clouds. Blistering sun, innocent like rebellion from our restless mouths. I just can't believe that nothing is what it seems. Used to be so young and unaware of everything, We grew up so fast and now our hearts feel every beat. I just want out. Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense. I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide. We loved when the rain called. We'd move without a sound. Our eyes gazed high under night skies. Now, I'm only a man. I'm only a man. Don't run away from me, past tense, past tense. I'm so rejective to the world outside and I can't hide.
