In the backyard swing where we used to fly
We'd paint the skies with colors high
Now the swing's just hanging low
There's no more rush no place to go
We ran through fields with no end in sight
Chasing sunsets till the night
Now those fields are paved with gold
We're moving fast but feeling old
Yesterday's dreams feel so far away
In the mirror we're lost in the fray
Holding on to memories tight
Growing up in the fading light
Laughter echoed through the halls
Endless summers and snowfalls
Now the echoes fade to gray
We're growing up but losing play
Time won't slow though we plead
Racing hearts take the lead
In the chapters yet to write
We find our way back to the light
Yesterday's dreams feel so far away
In the mirror we're lost in the fray
Holding on to memories tight
Growing up in the fading light
