"Childhood" lyrics

"Childhood"

I want this to be the last time
That I have to go down
That I have to drown
In my childhood memories

I would like to close this door
Shut all the windows
Turn off the lights now
Of my childhood memories

Even though it happened such a long time ago
I can see it when I close my eyes
Feel it in the wind blowing by
Even though I'm wide awake
It still feels like a dream
Those distant memories always come back to haunt me

I thought this would be the best of times
Now when I'm all grown up
Always aiming for the top
But I can stand in the middle of a crowd
And the room will close in on me
It's getting harder to breathe

Even though it happened such a long time ago
I can see it when I close my eyes
Feel it in the wind blowing by
Even though I'm wide awake
It still feels like I'm there
Those distant memories always come back to haunt me

To haunt me
To haunt me
To haunt me

I want this to be the last time
That I have to go down
That I have to drown
In my childhood memories
