V1:
Here I sit at 25
Now watch my child-hood go by
Wish I could go back again
Start the thing over and start again
And I could never fault you
For saying it couldn’t be true
What would you want me to believe in
Want me to believe in
Intro music, played once through
V2:
Now I sit and wonder why
The best part of my life went by
The things were so important then
Disappear and return again
But I could never fault you
For saying it couldn’t be true
What would you want me to believe in
Want me to believe in

If I….. Could just convince myself that it was long enough

V3:
Now that I am old enough
To see the things I missed in life
I wish I could go back again,
Start the whole thing over, start again
But I could never fault you
For saying it couldn’t be true
What would you want me to believe in
Want me to believe in
Solo again
Extended Chorus
If I….. Could just convince myself that it was long enough
But I ….. just can’t convince myself that it was long enough
And I…. Just can’t convince myself that it was long enough
But I ….. just can’t convince myself that it was long enough
