Wonders Of The Younger - Plain White T's

Race-cars and spaceships and carnival rides

Ghosts in the graveyard that come out at night

These are the wonders of the younger

Daydreams of castle and sad 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 could all go back right now?

Werewolves and vampires are out for the kill

If none of them get you, the Bogeyman will

These are the wonders of the younger

Walkin' the plank off an old pirate ship

With a fistful of 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 could all go back right now?

Click your heels, close your eyes

Make a wish, wave goodbye

Fly away, it’s not too late

Change your mind

Now 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
