WE HAD TO MIND

 I SEE US SO OFTEN

 

WHEN I LOOK INTO THE PAST

 

SO OFTEN TRYING

 

TO CATCH THE SUN

 

CLIMBING EVER HIGHER

 

ABOVE THE TREES

 

SLIPPING AWAY

 

LIKE SO MANY DAYS

 

WE THOUGHT WE WERE TASTING

 

ALL THE LIFE WE NEEDED

 

FAR FROM JADED

 

PASSIVE INNOCENCE

 

COLOURED AND SHADED

 

CURIOSITY

 

ALWAYS WON

 

ADD MORE THING

 

THAT WE HAVE DONE

 

IT MADE US SMILE

 

IT WAS FUN

 

 

TEARING DOWN THE WALLS

 

ONE BY ONE

 

SEARCHING FOR NEW HORIZONS 

 

TOOK ALL OUR TIME

 

WE HAD TO MIND

 

WE HAD TO KEEP OUR HEADS

 

REMEMBER FAIRY TALES

 

ARE SELDOM SEEN

 

OUTSIDE BOOK COVERS

 

AND THE SILVER SCREEN

 

THE MOMENTS 

 

THAT CAME AND WENT 

 

PASSED ME BY

 

WONDERING IF I SHOULD SAY

 

TELL YOU WHAT I FEEL

 

SHOW YOU WHERE YOU ARE 

 

CLOSER TO MY HEART

 

 

HOW COULD YOU

 

NOT SEE ME

 

 HANGING ON YOUR WORDS

 

EACH ONE LIKE

 

CATCHING THE SUN

 

YOU COULD OF BEEN THE ONLY ONE

 

BUT YOU SLIPPED AWAY

 

WHILE WE WERE CHASING THE SUN

 

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF YOU WON 

 

FOUND ALL THAT YOU NEEDED

 

SURE WE HAD TO MIND

 

KEEP OUR HEADS

 

REMEMBER FAIRY TALES

 

ARE SELDOM SEEN

 

OUTSIDE BOOK COVERS

 

AND THE SILVER SCREEN
