It's getting harder these days
To keep my cool
But don't get me wrong
I was never great

I remember days when money didn't matter
I was building forts and swamps in the summers
And you were serving tea to the Queen
And everything was beautiful
Yeah, we'd run around like animals
And I, I, I, I heard you say

It's getting harder these days
It's getting harder these days

We ran away into the night
Chasing trains like crazies out of our minds
With no more to lose than our Sunday shoes
We packed our bags and said goodbye

We were not afraid
We were not afraid

I remember days when money didn't matter
I was building forts and swamps in the summers
And you were serving tea to the Queen
And everything was beautiful
Yeah, we'd run around like animals
And I, I, I, I heard you say

It's getting harder these days
It's getting harder these days

We ran away into the night
Chasing trains like crazies out of our minds
Oh, and no more to lose than our Sunday shoes
We packed our bags, we said goodbye

We said, look outside, the sun is rising
Look outside, the sun is rising
Look outside, the sun is rising
Look outside, the sun is rising

I remember days when money didn't matter
I was building forts and swamps in the summers
And you were serving tea to the Queen
