Used to Be

[Verse 1]

There used to be a barn here

It towered over me

The wood that held the walls is now a frame beside my bed

No picture in it yet

A boy he used to run here

He rested in the leaves

And when he was just paper, and the wind could sing a song

And I would sing along

[Chorus]

Come on out, all you children

Wake on up, it's time to dream

Callin' out for the young and the reckless

Don't forget who you used to be

[Verse 2]

When you're lookin' to the future

The future's never lookin' back

When you're waiting for tomorrow, it always comes a day too late

So why not just be late?

[Chorus]

Come on out, all you children

Wake on up, it's time to dream

Callin' out for the young and the reckless

Don't forget who you used to be

Who you used to be

[Bridge]

I used to smile in my pictures

Nobody had to ask

I wore my innocence like armor

Traded my armor for a mask

And now I want it back

Yeah, now I want it back

[Chorus]

So come on out, all you children

Wake on up, it's time to dream

Callin' out for the young and the reckless

Don't forget who you used to be, yeah

Come on out, all you children

Wake on up, it's time to dream, yeah

Callin' out for the young and the reckless

Don't forget who you used to be
