Plain White T's - Wonders Of The Younger Lyrics

Race cars and spaceships and carnival rides
Ghosts in graveyards that come out at night
These are the wonders of the younger

Daydreams of castles inside crystal balls
While your heroes on posters stand guard on your walls
These are the wonders of the younger

And I wonder why we just leave it all behind
And I wonder how we can all go back right now

Werewolves and vampires are out for the kill
If none of them catch you, the Bogeyman will
These are the wonders of the younger

Walking the plank off an old pirate ship
With a fist full of a gold and her kiss on your lips
These are the wonders of the younger

And I wonder why we just leave it all behind
And I wonder how we can all go back right now

Click your heels
Close your eyes
Make a wish goodbye
Fly away
It's not too late
Change your mind

Numbers and figures take up all my time
How did this much of my life pass me by?
I miss the wonders of the younger
