XI - Children Lyrics

We are young today
But older tomorrow
Although it seems far away
It's nothing that you could outgrow
We never cared anyway
We like to live in the moment
But the idea crossed ways
With my mind and I've got to be honest

The way we spend our days everyday
Playing video games
Is cool for now
But it's only gonna be taking us all, all the way down

We do things when they're fun
And time is gold go win it
But the moon soon turns to sun
We're getting older by the minute
We fill our time with thoughts
I suggest stop thinking
Let's clear our minds with love
And forever stay like children

I left my mom today
To go back to the dorms
It's like leaving a fireplace
When it snows now it don't feel warm
They say I'll be okay
Cause time can heal all wounds
But why does it matter if it'll only heal some
Just to make some more soon

The way we cry our yes out
When we're laughing
Might seem okay
But I surely hope in time it'll stay that same way

We do things when they're fun
And time is gold go win it
But the moon runs for the sun
We're getting older by the minute
We fill our time with thoughts
I suggest stop thinking
Let's clear our minds with love
And forever stay like children

The truth is
It must hurt
When youth's gone
When youth's burned
Soon we will be
Just ashes
Part of earth

The truth is
It must hurt
When youth's gone
When youth's burned
Soon we will be
Just ashes
Part of earth

The truth is
It must hurt
When youth's gone
When youth's burned
Soon we will be
Just ashes
Part of earth
