It was easier when we were younger
Less to know and more to be
Model trains and painted horses
Less to hide and more to seek
We've grown since then
We'll grow again
Those old shades of red and blue
Don't fit the way they used to
And your voice sounds different on the phone
No use in trying to fight time
We both know we can't rewind
But hell, I wish I would have known
How few and far between
These days, it seems
That we get to go home
Tiny hands and dirty faces
Washed somewhere along the road
I wish I'd spent more days pretending
Before you said you were too old
We've grown since then
We'll grow again
Those old shades of red and blue
Don't fit the way they used to
And your voice sounds different on the phone
No use in trying to fight time
We both know we can't rewind
But hell, I wish I would have known
How few and far between
These days, it seems
You're busy making plans
And holding on to young love's hands
I'm here wondering how you got so tall
A million miles away,
I'm missing you more every day
And kid, I'll always love you more, most, all.
We've grown since then
We'll grow again
Those old shades of red and blue
Don't fit the way they used to
And your voice sounds different on the phone
No use in trying to fight time
We both know we can't rewind
But hell, I wish I would have known
How few and far between
These days, it seems
How few and far between
These days, it seems
That we get to go home
That we get to go home
That we get to go home
That we get to go home
