lyrics

-How Long Was Forever?-

He woke up, and he outgrew:
Silly hearted dreaming, what all little kids do
His story books never cost a lot,
But his were destroyed or lost in the garage

And sooner or later he outgrew colors and fantasies
He lost his rhymes of orange, pink and milky-cream
His lazy sleepy days, his endless summer dreams
The very thought of his stuffed fluffies

And, all those years have treated the reformed oh-so well
They’re heavily medicated sans their dizzy spells
And, as your mind grows soft and weary, life is only to grow old
All your dreams were lies, and so were your hopes

And sooner or later he outgrew colors and fantasies
He lost his rhymes of orange, pink and milky-cream
His lazy sleepy days, his endless summer dreams
The very thought of his stuffed fluffies

And sooner or later he outgrew
And sooner or later pretend just isn’t for you
This time is fleeting, and they all knew
And sooner or later, you will too
