  • I only wanted to have fun
    Learning to fly, learning to run
    I let my heart decide the way
    When I was young
    Deep down, I must have always known
    That this would be inevitable
    To earn my stripes, I'd have to pay
    And bare my soul

    I know I'm not the only one
    Who regrets the things they've done
    Sometimes I just feel it's only me
    Who can't stand the reflection that they see
    I wish I could live a little more
    Look up to the sky, not just the floor
    I feel like my life is flashing by
    And all I can do is watch and cry
    I miss the air, I miss my friends
    I miss my mother, I miss it when
    Life was a party to be thrown
    But that was a million years ago

    When I walk around all of the streets
    Where I grew up and found my feet
    They can't look me in the eye
    It's like they're scared of me
    I try to think of things to say
    Like a joke or a memory
    But they don't recognize me now
    In the light of day

    I know I'm not the only one
    Who regrets the things they've done
    Sometimes I just feel it's only me
    Who never became who they thought they'd be
    I wish I could live a little more
    Look up to the sky, not just the floor
    I feel like my life is flashing by
    And all I can do is watch and cry
    I miss the air, I miss my friends
    I miss my mother, I miss it when
    Life was a party to be thrown
    But that was a million years ago

  • John Shine from Bridgeport, OhioThe title of this song should be " Long long time ago". A great song nonetheless.
