Childhood Dreams
Chasing Childhood Dreams: Timeless Reflections on Life's Fleeting Moments
Lyrics
Memories we share
Reflecting on shared memories.
Through the years we bared
Enduring experiences together over time.
All the good times raced by
Recalling swiftly passing enjoyable moments.
All he bad times lagged on
Highlighting the prolonged impact of difficult times.
So concerned with years past
Being overly preoccupied with the past.
A waste of time I find
Expressing a realization that dwelling on the past is unproductive.
Life's too short to be wasted
Emphasizing the brevity of life.
Trying to relive yesterday's laughs
Rejecting the idea of trying to recreate past joys.
See the fire dying
Observing a fading passion or enthusiasm.
All the stars are falling
Suggesting a loss of hope or optimism.
All will be washed out but
Anticipating the erasure of significant things.
Why can't hopes of yesterday
Questioning why the optimism of the past cannot be revived.
Be reborn for tomorrow?
Expressing a desire for the renewal of past hopes for the future.
Childhood dreams weren't long ago
Reflecting on dreams from childhood that seem recent.
Far yet very near to us
Describing the proximity of childhood dreams.
Far as our thoughts could be from us
Highlighting the distance of thoughts from reality.
Near as the stars have fallen to us
Comparing the closeness of childhood dreams to fallen stars.
Good times are everyday
Asserting that good times are a part of daily life.
They occur in many ways
Noting the various forms in which good times manifest.
Can't see them 'til tomorrow
Stating that the value of good times may only be realized later.
Then, they're just good old days
Considering today's experiences as future cherished memories.
Memories of years past
Recalling past memories.
Mysteries of those to come
Contemplating future mysteries and uncertainties.
Time tells all so slowly
Highlighting the slow revelation of truths over time.
Wish it weren't so fucking fast
Expressing a desire for time to pass more slowly.
