Before These Walls Were Blue

The world says you’re ready when you’re eighteen
And I was no exception to the rule.
You could have tried 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.

I remember sitting there in that old rock
Playing, trying to get you back asleep
When I found myself laughing at you laughing
Wishing a hundred times 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.

I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic,
I believe in a life besides these walls
Now I believe
In dinosaurs, in toys, trains and baseball
What you’re 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 didn’t have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls
Before these walls were blue.
