In my younger days, when I felt older then I tried to talk to you, baby let somethin' warmer in The games were different, I didn't quite know the rules It could have been something I said
I remember one day, bikin' 'round the parkin' lot Wearin' my dad's haircut and feeling like I played the part My brother and sister, they would make me conversate With the passerby who would wonder why
The days go so long The days go so long The days go so long
And I think
Wouldn't it be nice to be lost in the city? Wondering how to get home at night Wouldn't it be nice to be lost in the city? Tonight
Climbin' my staircase, trying to get outside I reach the rooftop, always the best place to hide My brother and sister, they would get kicks for days Hearin' what the strangers had to say
The days go so long The days go so long The days go so long The days go on so long
