The world says youre ready when youre eighteen
Well I was no exception to the rule.
Eager to try my hand at provin' that I was a man
Not an ounce of fear in anything I do.Yeah, I thought I knew it all
Turns out I didnt have a clue
Before these walls were blue.I remember sitting there in that old rocker
Praying, trying to get you back asleep
Well I'd found myself laughing at you laughing
Wishing the hand of time that I could cheat.
Yeah, I thought that I knew love
Turns out I didnt have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls were blue.I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic,
I believe in a life inside these walls.
Now I believe
In dinosaurs, in toy trains and baseball
What are you gonna be for Halloween
I will 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 didnt have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls
Before these walls were blue.
