Lyrics

I on ly want ed to have fun,

learn ing to fly, learn ing to run.

I let my heart de cide the way it’s like when I was young.

Deep down I must have al ways known

that this would be in or ev i ta ble.

To earn my stripes, I’d have to pay

in and bare my soul.

(Mm,

mm,

mm,

mm.)

I know I’m not the on ly one

who re grets the things they’ve done.

Some times I just feel it’s on ly me

who can’t stand the re flec tion they that they see.

I wish I could live a lit tle more,

look up to the sky, not just the floor.

I feel like my life is flash ing by,

and all I can do is watch and cry.

I miss the air, I miss my friends, I miss my moth er; I miss it when

life was a par ty to be thrown,

but that was a mil lion years a go.

When I walk a round all of the streets

where I grew up and found my feet,

I they can’t look me in the eye, it’s like they’re scared of me.

I try to think of things to say,

that like a joke in or a mem o ry.

But they don’t rec og nize me now, in the light of day.

(Mm,

mm,

mm,

mm.)

I know I’m not the on ly one

who re grets

the things they’ve done.

Some times I just feel it’s on ly me who nev er the be came who they thought they’d be.

I wish I could live a lit tle more,

look up to the sky, not just the floor.

I feel like my life is flash ing by,

and all I can do is watch and cry.

I miss the air, I miss my friends, I miss my moth er; I miss it when

life was a par ty to be thrown,

but that was a mil lion years a go.

When I walk a go.

A mil lion years a go.
