Children - Tom Prior

There’s a lump in my throat and it’s getting harder to swallow

It tastes of nostalgia, now I’m kickin' up the dust

I can still smell the summer and the old days of

See 'em comin' around again, got me thinkin' of the days

Days when we were sittin' in the back, our hands

give me all I need

And now we’re at the front where everybody wants to get into the driving seat

Do you know how I’m feelin'?

It wasn’t like this when we were children, no, no

Fighting back the future

Swear I spent my youth thinking I could have it all

Nothing’s gonna stop us

Time is all we got, but the ticking time takes its toll

Do you know how I’m feelin'?

It wasn’t like this when we were children, no

And I know we all in the end

But I know that we can feel it again

Life gives itself a new meaning

Oh don’t you know?

You’re the reason I won’t forget when we were children

Testing the water, but it’s pulling me under

I’m searchin' for someone, if you’re out there let me know

I’m learning from stories and lines on your face

That old, got me thinkin' of the days

Days when we were pushing back the sky

When everything was worth a try, I really had it all

But everything has changed, it’s hard to turn the page

And now I’m just a grown up fool

Do you know how I’m feelin'?

It wasn’t like this when we were children, no

And I know we all in the end

But I know that we can feel it again

Life gives itself a new meaning

Oh don’t you know?

You’re the reason I won’t forget when we were children

Down but I won’t be beaten

It wasn’t like this when we were children

Wake me up but don’t stop me dreamin'

After days back when we were children

No, no, no, no

All I know is that we all in the end

But I know that we can feel it again

Life gives itself a new meaning

Oh don’t you know?

You’re the reason I won’t forget when we were children
