Verse 1

When I was young I thought I had my own key

I knew exactly what I wanted to be

Now I'm sure

 You've boarded up every door

Verse 2

Lived in a bubble days were never ending

Was not concerned about what life was sending

Fantasy was real

 Now I know much about the way I feel

Pre-chorus

I'll paint you the picture

 'Cos I don't think you live round here no more

 I've never even seen the key to the door

 We only get what we will settle for

Chorus

While we're living

 The dreams we had as children

 Fade away

 While we're living

 the dreams we had as children

 fade away

 While we're living

 the dreams we had as children

 fade away

 While we're living

 the dreams we had as children

 fade away, away, away

 they fade away, away, away

Verse 3

Now my life has turned another corner

I think it's only fair that I should warn yer

Dream it while you can

Maybe someday I'll make you understand

Pre-chorus

Chorus
