I used to roam these streets with a bicycle and my bare feet Till the street lights cast their shine Or my dad would say it's time to eat There were rocks that I turned over Some I just left in the dirt I fall and skinned my knees And that was all I knew of her I was just learning how to dot my i's and cross my t's Couldn't wait to turn the tide So never thought i'd be I started chasing happy ever after Every step that I got closer clouds kept moving faster Faster Next thing that I knew There were angels and they caught my eye And I drive to their houses Bring them flowers red and white But hearts are misunderstood People told me love would hurt me Never thought it would I started chasing happpu ever after I learned a lesson and the clouds keep moving faster Faster It went up so fast, my youth It blames my hour glass Is empty on its side It left before I said goodbye, goodbye My mother called today She asked me if my bills were paid Tears ran down her face To hear a man in her boys place Boy would you look at you now People told me this would happen But never told me how You find your way and I couldn't run after Every inch that you grow taller clouds keep moving faster Faster
