Lyrics
This isn't real
It's all in my head
I can feel it
I'm imagining this
Can I wake up from this dream?
Roll over, fall back to sleep please

For a second, for a minute can we go?
For a second, for a minute can we go?
For a second, for a minute can we go?
For a second, for a minute can we go?

Can we go back when we were young
And didn't care if we messed up?
We have forever so we got lost in each other
'Cause time wasn't catching, time wasn't catching us
Back when we were young
And didn't care if we messed up
We have forever so we got lost in each other
'Cause time wasn't catching, time wasn't catching us

Without our paper crowns of silver and gold
Without our arms and feathers and hollow bones
The more I'm learning, the more I don't know
I feel smaller the more I go

For a second, for a minute can we go?
For a second, for a minute can we go?
For a second, for a minute can we go?
For a second, for a minute can we go?

Can we go back when we were young
And didn't care if we messed up?
We have forever so we got lost in each other
'Cause time wasn't catching, time wasn't catching us
Back when we were young
And didn't care if we messed up
We have forever so we got lost in each other
'Cause time wasn't catching, time wasn't catching us

Back when we were young
And didn't care if we messed up
We have forever so we got lost in each other
'Cause time wasn't catching, time wasn't catching us

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na
You can't catch me
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na
You can't catch me
