  • They didn't warn me when I was running wild
    Dragons breathing fire in the backyard at night
    We live in circles
    And it's so hard to breathe
    Maybe the same old fears, what have we here?
    Don't bring me down with you

    Now I'm just chasing time with a thousand dreams
    I'm holding heavy
    And as we cross the line, these fading beats have all been severed
    Don't tell me our youth is running out
    It's only just begun

    If I asked you for good news, would you smile and turn away?
    It's like a bad dream that is too afraid to wake
    There are many among us
    And we're changing all the time
    Maybe the same old fears, what have we here?
    Don't bring me down with you

    Now I'm just chasing time with a thousand dreams
    I'm holding heavy
    And as we cross the line, these fading beats have all been severed
    Don't tell me our youth is running out
    It's only just begun

    These fading beats
    These fading beats

    Now I'm just chasing time with a thousand dreams
    I'm holding heavy
    And as we cross the line, these fading beats have all been severed
    Don't tell me our youth is running out
    It's only just begun

    These fading beats
    A thousand dreams
    These fading beats
    A thousand dreams

    It's only just begun Writer/s: Edward Jonathan Harris, Louisa Rose Allen
