lyrics

It started out as just another game
The tone of a bedtime story
We laughed and played, and learned from one another
Our childhood in all its glory
That when I’d tell you
I couldn’t play no more
I wanted something real, real, real
That’s when I’d say
I wanted something more
What you said it wasn’t real

We were only children playing a game of tag
Watching Phineas and Ferb
Splashing in puddles getting wet
Only children, Marco Polo in the pool
Riding our bikes on down the road
Never a worry or a fret
Close your eyes and count to ten
Open your eyes, here I am
Run around, find your friends
Play until the end
Play until the end
We were only children

You spoke of things
I’d never heard of
Things magical and marvelous and grand
We could watch all the scary movies
I’d be okay 'cause you’d be there to hold my hand
That’s when I told you
I couldn’t take it anymore
I wanted something real, real, real
That’s when I broke your heart
Right into two
For something more real

We were only children playing a game of tag
Watching Phineas and Ferb
Splashing in puddles getting wet
Only children, Marco Polo in the pool
Riding our bikes on down the road
Never a worry or a fret
Close your eyes and count to ten
Open your eyes, here I am
Run around, find your friends
Play until the end
Play until the end
We were only children
