Ever Since Lyrics

ever since i was a child
you know i'd lay down
i would just lay and
dream of growing up in time
in time to realize what was mine
i never could have answered why
just why i'd lay down
you know i'd lay and dream
about the future i gave up since
i became the child

a passive motion is my own part
the days go by
i just can't focus on what i've left
or gained now since i'm with you
but tomorrow i'll be gone
you pull me back so i won't drift
further away the race i live
through has full existence today
so bruised and dusty i keep
walking there remind me that today
is today though any day could be
just wake that side of me
ever since i was child
you know i'd lay down
i would just lay and keep my
dreams and hopes alive
and that i hope you'll see in time
i guess i'll never answer why
just why i' lay down
you know i'd lay and do
what i was told each time
i guess it come with being
the child
