Twenty-five in twenty-ten
Never going back again
Other side of a locked door
Thirty-nine in twenty-four

The days were long
When we (When we)
Were young (Were young)
I held on while I could

Faces of the days to come
Brightened by the shallow sun
In the shadows that they cast
Pieces of the shining past

The days were long
When we (When we)
Were young (Were young)
I held on while I could
When we were new
Our eyes (Our eyes)
Were blue (Were blue)
But now that's only you

I held on while I could
I held on while I could
