The world says you?re ready when you?re eighteen
And I was no exception to the rule.
Eager to try my hand and prove to them that I was a man
Not an ounce of fear in anything I do.
Yeah, I thought I knew it all
Turns out I didn?t have a clue
Before these walls were blue.
verse 2
I remember sitting there in that old rocker
3am trying to get you back asleep
When I found myself laughing at you laughing
Wishing the hands of time that I could cheat.
Yeah, I thought that I knew love
Turns out I didn?t have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls were blue.
Bridge
I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic,
I believe in a life besides these walls
verse 3
In dinosaurs, in toys, trains and baseball
What you?re gonna be for Halloween
I'll be the villain and you will be the hero
And save the day the way that you saved me.
Yeah, I thought I knew myself,
Turns out I didn?t have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls
Before these walls were blue.
