Used to Be

There used to be a barn here
It towered over me
The wood that held the walls is now a frame beside my bed
With no picture in it yet

A boy, he used to run here
He rested in the leaves
Money was just paper and the wind could sing a song
And I would singalong

Come on out, all you children!
Wake on up, it's time to dream
Calling out for the young and the reckless
Don't forget who we used to be

When you're looking to the future
The future's never looking back
When you're waiting for tomorrow
It always comes a day too late
Why not just be late?

Come on out, all you children!
Wake on up, it's time to dream
Calling out for the young and the reckless
Don't forget who we used to be

I used to smile in my pictures
Nobody had to ask
I wore my innocence like armor
Traded my armor for a mask
And now I want it back
Yeah, now I want it back

Come on out, all you children!
Wake on up, it's time to dream
Calling out for the young and the reckless
Don't forget who we used to be
