[Verse 1]

Oh mother
Oh, mother, I'm running from
From the arms of another
Of another, broken home

Remember when we were children
We were just children, having fun
With the old ghost in the garden
Before we started, growing up

Oooooh
Oooooh

[Verse 2]

Oh father
Oh, father, I guess I'm wrong
The castles in the kitchen, that we kept building
Slowly gone

Remember when we were children
We were just children, singing songs
Passed down from your father
Before we started growing old
[Chorus]

When was the last time we
Stayed up to count the stars?
When was the last time we
Said that the world was ours?

Oh mother
Oh, mother, I'm outgrown
I'm outgrown

[Verse 3]

Oh brother, my brother
Where have you gone?
I wrote to you, said I missed you
You and our sister, are moving on

Remember when we were children
We were just children, having fun
I fall asleep with a burden
And we get up early, to beat the sun

[Chorus]

When was the last time we
Stayed up to count the stars?
When was the last time we
Said that the world was ours?
Oh mother
Oh, mother, I'm outgrown
We never can not know
We never can outgrow

When was the last time we
Stayed up to count the stars?
When was the last time we
Said that the world was ours?

Oh mother
Oh, mother, I'm outgrown
We never can not know
We never can outgrow
