lyrics
When I was young
I had so much pride you know, my mother said
Now I've got none
We live and learn to lean on one another
The world seems so big, because I am so very small
I still look for monsters hiding just behind my wardrobe door
But that's alright, cause I'm gonna build the biggest fort in the world
It seems so big, because I am so very small
Hey Joe Vecchio, where do I go?
I'm just dying to know now, am I the only one falling?
Looking up at trees and stars and skies that have been painted black
Time's frozen, but life, it's never broken
The world seems so big, because I am so very small
Hey Joe Vecchio, where do I go?
I'm just dying to know now, am I the only one falling?
Left, right, left, start it over again
Start over again
Left, right, left, I'm going forward
Left, right , left, I'm starting again
Hey Joe Vecchio, where do I go?
I'm just dying to know now, am I the only one falling?
Left, right, left, start it over again
Start over again
'Till we reach the end
