Lyrics:

A long time ago my eyes were gold

I had blue hair and a fiery soul

And when I danced the sky itself

Could not contain the joy I felt


Come with me to the place we played

After school and every day

We can chase the sun and swing the swings

Just like when we were kids


Way back when my mind was free

And I could be what I wanted to be

I closed my eyes and I spread my wings

Letting go of a million things


Come with me to the place we played

After school and every day

We can chase the sun and swing the swings

Just like when we were kids


Feels like it was yesterday

But nothing gold can ever stay

So take my hand and we'll go on home

'Cause I don't want to go alone


So come with me to the place we played

After school and every day

We can chase the sun and swing the swings

Just like when we were kids
