The child inside has nowhere to hide
Blasts from the past and fairground rides
My only escape is to years gone by
Knee scrapes in school grounds tears I cried
In the past my heart lives where smiles are found
New romantics music are clearly my sound

The child inside are my only way
To escape from the life in this present day
Dreams of my childhood where memories exist
Sun kissed days and today no longer persists
Playing children games in the January snow
It's another world and nobody will know

The child inside where I slowly grew older
Till I reach today and everything's colder
Building den's in the past with close friends
For the love of a childhood I wished never ends
If only I could return forever, live in the past
The child inside where I remember I laughed

I wish I could return and leave today behind
All the scars would be gone from the child inside...
