1983 Lyrics - Singles - Dogwood

When we were kids our dreams were invincible 

When we were young our whole lives ahead of us 

And it was well understood 

We'd all become astronauts and firemen 

Let's not pretend we all become famous 

Let's not pretend there's more to this then we hoped for 

For we knew the rules when we were still children 

You blow it, you fail it, disappointment 

It's well on its way, well understood 

And you have a place to be 

(When we were young) 

Time on our hands 

Still out of our hands just like rain 

(It rained so hard) 

Time ran away and left us afraid 

Your parents are proud, you've got everything 

No passion at hand, you'll be Ivy League 

It's more probable we all become salesmen 

You know it, you fear it, mediocrity 

It's well on its way, well understood and this is your life 

Don't apoligize for what you are because you're a star 

I hope you find contentment I pray you find an answer 

'Cause life is better than your occupation, revelation 

When we were 

(When we were young) 

Time on our hands 

Still out of our hands 

Just like rain 

(It rained so hard) 

Time ran away and left us afraid
