Used To Be

(album: Keswick - 2014)

There used to be a barn here
It towered over me
The wood that held the walls is now a frame beside my bed
No picture in it yet
A boy he used to run here
He rested in the leaves
And when he was just paper, and the wind could sing a song
And I would sing along

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 you 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
So 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 you used to be
Who you 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

So 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 you used to be, yeah

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