Girl, we made it to the top
We went so high we couldn't stop
We climbed the ladder
leading us nowhere
Two of us together
Building castles in the air
We spun so fast we couldn't tell
The gold ring from the carousel
How could we know the ride
would turn out bad?
Everything we wanted
Was everything we had
I miss the high winds, the once upon a time, the lovely long ago,
we didn't ever die, those days of me and you
We lost along the way
How could I be so blind?
Not the cedar doors closing on the world I now hunger for,
licking through my tears
I miss the hungry years
We shared our daydreams one by one
Making plans was so much fun
We set our goals and reached
the highest star
Things that we were after were
much better from afar
This time just me and you,
with everything and nothing to
It wasn't worth the price
we had to pay
Honey, take me home
Let's go back to yesterday
I miss the breeze
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago, we didn't ever die
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way
How could I be so blind
Not to see the door closing on the world I now understand,
looking through my cheeks
I miss the hungry years I
miss the hungry years
I miss the hungry years
