Kids I Used to Know

Can I wake up now?
Will you make it okay?
Can we just pretend
Like we did yesterday?

Has it really been so long?
Have I really missed that much?
I cannot seem to reach you
Why am I so out of touch?

Oh no, say it ain't so
I just never wanted to grow old
Oh I don't wanna say goodbye
To the kids I used to know
Oh, when did you find the time
To grow without me?
To grow without me?
To grow without me?
Yeah

20 years doesn't seem so long
If you take it day by day
When did everything go all wrong
When did I decide to throw it all away?

I can't help it if I can't keep up
I can't walk along the path they laid
I can't help it if I can't keep up
How am I supposed to not be afraid?

Oh no, say it ain't so
I just never wanted to grow old
Oh I don't wanna say goodbye
To the kids I used to know
Oh, when did you find the time
To grow without me?
To grow without me?
To grow without me?
Yeah

I'm sorry that I'm such a disappointment
I never found a way to believe my lies
Nobody sees the world quite like I do
Looking through these nightmare eyes

Oh no, say it ain't so
I just never wanted to grow old
Oh I don't wanna say goodbye
To the kids I used to know
Oh, when did you find the time
To grow without me?
To grow without me?
Oh, when did you grow without me?
To grow without me?
