Young Dreams

Those were the days when life rolled on by,
When we could lie back on the green, green grass,
And peer up at the sky,

Those were the days when our hearts combined,
When we could talk and laugh and kiss and touch,
And everything was fine,

Why can’t we go back,
To when things were so easy?
Because I’m lost in this madness, chaos,
This mayhem that we call our world,

We were free like the birds,
Like the fish, like the clouds,
Like the stars up above,
The earth spinning round,
Now we’re stuck 9 to 5,
Day-to-day routine,
And those beautiful days,
Are no more than a dream,

Those were the times when ignorance was bliss,
When we could drift past uncharted waters,
Wanting more than this,

Those were the times when fights weren’t the end,
When we could make up with a single kiss,
And promise to be friends,

I want to turn back time,
To when things were so painless,
Because I’m lost in this madness, chaos,
This mayhem that we call our world,

We were free like the birds,
Like the fish, like the clouds,
Like the stars up above,
The earth spinning round,
Now we’re stuck 9 to 5,
Day-to-day routine,
And those beautiful days,
Are no more than a dream,

Black and grey,
Day by day,
Nothing new to do,
Nothing new to say,
The sparks of our youth,
It was me and you,
Dulled by the life,
That we’ve submitted to,

I want to go back to then,
To when we ruled the earth,
Because I’m lost in this madness, chaos,
This mayhem that we call our world,

We were free like the birds,
Like the fish, like the clouds,
Like the stars up above,
The earth spinning round,
Now we’re stuck 9 to 5,
Day-to-day routine,
And those beautiful days,
Are no more than a dream,

Amazing lyrics. It reminds me my lyrics "Sweet innocence" that are about child innocence and easy life when you younger.

I love this line and chorus with its contrasts birds versus routine.
