Child in me

Mirror and I we've got a good connection
I lie to him and he lies to me
But tonight I see the wrong reflection
Staring right, staring back at me
I was seven by the age of two
I was twenty by the age of five
In such a hurry just to get there
That you leave yourself behind

How long have you known
How long has it been
When did I stop growing out
When did I start growing in
You could have warned me
You could have told
I can feel the child in me growing old
Growing old

I still remember every stroke of my first shave
Always left me with a peach fuzz high
But now I'm haunted by this shadow
Follows me everywhere
Follows me after five
My generation has its heroes too
But every single one is now past his prime
Even the bodies of the great ones
Just can't run from all this time

How long have you known
How long has it been
When did I stop growing out
When did I start growing in
You could have warned me
You could have told
I can feel the child in me growing old
Growing old
Growing old
Yeah yeah
Growing old

I only want to be
I only want to be younger still
I only want to be younger still
I only want to be younger still

How long have you known
How long has it been
When did I stop growing out
When did I start growing in
You could have warned me
You could have told
I can feel the child in me growing old
Growing old
Growing old
Yeah yeah
Growing old
