When Did We Get Old

Ryan M Barnes

As long as I can remember you’ve been there
You’ve been right beside me we’ve always been a pair
You’re my friend you’re my brother as close as can be
I’ve tried to be there you’ve always been there for me

When did we get old
How long has it been since we’ve searched for gold
The world was our to hold
There was no stoppin’ us and we were gonna live forever

There was no end to our dreams
We were GI Joe swingin’ from the rope on the beam
Ridin’ our bikes all over town
All we knew is we needed to end up different than what we had around

When did we get old
How long has it been since we’ve searched for gold
The world was our to hold
There was no stoppin’ us and we were gonna live forever

We were kings we were generals
 We were Mikey and Mouth
We were Transformers and Thundercats
 you were the North I was the South
We learned the violin and dug holes in the yard
We swam all summer long and rode our bikes in the dark

But when did we get old
How long has it been since we’ve searched for gold
The world was our to hold
There was no stoppin’ us and we were gonna live forever

But where are we now
We can’t run anymore and the music’s too loud
We used to feel so alive
But those days are gone and we had to say goodbye

When did we get old
How long has it been since we’ve searched for gold
The world was our to hold
There was no stoppin’ us and we were gonna live forever
