Where did that time go...?

Endless summer on a holiday swing The garden's my empire and I was king On the market square I filled my water gun Screwed the gum ball machine and got free chewing gum Homemade moonshine lemonade Despaired of Rubik's cube 'til it got late Calling girls from the telephone box Posing to Queen with the boys from the block Hey Were did that time go Say Where did our lives flow Came back for dinner, spent the day running free Had no TikTok or Insta, so we climbed up trees To see the world down below There she came with her X-ray eyes Scanning my mind like some Russian spy Mysterious smile, she touched my hand This all happened analogue then A trembling kiss, no more a little boy Time to put away my worn out toys A brand new world opened up its gate Had to run through it before it was too late Hey Were did that time go Say Where did our lives flow Came home for dinner, spent the day running free Had no TikTok or Insta, so we climbed up trees To see the world down below Dear former Me In your diary you once asked me - your future You If I'll ever be happy Well, that's a hard question to answer The trouble with happiness is You don't know when you have it You remember it Ask me in another ten years Maybe I'll be able to tell you Hey Were did that time go Say Where did our lives flow Comparing the present and the past I know what will end and what's going to last Children don't care Cause now it's their Time
