Take me back to Northbrook
Untangle all of these threads
I don't want to be nineteen
I'm feeling 4 years ahead
Why the hell can't it slow down
Before I blinked I was eight
All my friends have it planned out
Who's up there choosing my fate
How long how long will it take to change
I fear I left my heart on stage
This real world's set fire to my wings
I feel just like a shooting star
Whose had his act now I'm breaking apart
In time you'll find me far away from here
Now I'm heading for Mars
Looked at father he told me
Son you've got to get out
Put your dreams in a whisper
Soon they'll grow into screams
I'm getting tired of waiting
As others pass me by
This hopeless dreaming is testing
The man I should become
As others say don't think of this
You've got long to live
Don't fall in line
Just like the others did
You've got your time
To make wrong to right
How long how long will it take to change
I fear I left my heart on stage
This real world's set fire to my wings
I feel just like a shooting star
Whose had his act now I'm breaking apart
In time you'll find me far away from here
Now I'm heading for Mars
How long how long will it take to change
I fear I left my heart on stage
This real world's set fire to my wings
I feel just like a shooting star
Whose had his act now I'm breaking apart
In time you'll find me far away from here
Now I'm heading for Mars
Ooh
