I'm sitting by my window, staring outside
Thinking 'bout how fast life is passing me by
Always wishing I could go back
Always wishing we could go back
And ten years from now, I'll be staring outside
Thinking 'bout how fast life is passing me by
Still wishing I could go back
Always wishing I could go back

One thing, I know
I will not ever let go
Grow up, grow old
But still won't ever let go

Like sands through the hourglass, time is moving fast
Life is like a movie, yet it's always changing cast
I still remember the cast back in elementary
Feels like it's been a century, I haven't changed essentially
But mentally, completely, I ain't nothing like I used to be
Things ain't what they used to be, perhaps selective memory
Just causes me to think that things were better than they used to be
To think that life right now is 'bout as good as it can ever be
If I could freeze time, I would have froze time a year ago
Not caring what the future holds, cuz future ambitions control the present
We're letting it go, the moments we should really hold
The moments that we take for granted, in the end they mean the most

Red and blue, me and you, always seem to fade away but
Black and white, day and night, the only things that never change

I'm sitting by my window, staring outside
Thinking 'bout how fast life is passing me by
Always wishing I could go back
Always wishing we could go back
And ten years from now, I'll be staring outside
Thinking 'bout how fast life is passing me by
Still wishing I could go back
Always wishing I could go back

One thing, I know
I will not ever let go
Grow up, grow old
But still won't ever let go

I'm only sleeping, yet I've never felt so wide awake
Now watch me blow another candle on the birthday cake
Now watch me turn the page, watch me turn the page
Watch me close my eyes and say goodbye to yesterday
Tomorrow's only breaths away but I can't never reach it
If yesterday is done and gone, why can't I ever leave it?
And if today is all I got, how come I just can't feel it?
Man, if there is such a thing as time, I swear I don't believe it
Cuz if I could freeze time, I would freeze it right away
And never have to say goodbye to everything that makes today feel like today
All the moments that we gotta hold
All the ones we take for granted, all the ones that mean the most

Red and blue, me and you, always seem to fade away but
Black and white, day and night, the only things that never change

I'm sitting by my window, staring outside
Thinking 'bout how fast life is passing me by
Always wishing I could go back
Always wishing we could go back
And ten years from now, I'll be staring outside
Thinking 'bout how fast life is passing me by
Still wishing I could go back
Always wishing I could go back

One thing, I know
I will not ever let go
Grow up, grow old
But still won't ever let go
