Boy, we made it to the top
We went so high we couldn't stop
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
Two of us together building castles in the air

We spun so fast we couldn't tell
The gold ring from the carousel
How could we know the right would turn out bad
Everything we wanted was everything we had

I miss the hungry years (I miss the hungry years)
The once upon a time (The once upon a time)
The lovely long ago (The lovely long ago)
We didn't have a dime (We didn't have a dime)
Those days of me and you (Those days of me and you)
We lost along the way (We lost along the way)

How could I be so blind? (How could I be so blind?)
Not to see the door (Not to see the door)
Closing on the world (Closing on the world)
I now hunger for (I now hunger for)
Looking through my tears (Looking through my tears)
I miss the hungry years (I miss the hungry years)

We shared our day dreams one by one
Making plans was so much fun
We set our goals and reached the highest star
Things that we were after were much better from afar
And here we stand just me and you
With everything and nothing too
It wasn't worth the price we had to pay
Baby, take me home, let's go back to yesterday

I miss the hungry years (I miss the hungry years)
The once upon a time (The once upon a time)
The lovely long ago (The lovely long ago)
We didn't have a dime (We didn't have a dime)
Those days of me and you (Those days of me and you)
We lost along the way (We lost along the way)

How could I be so blind? (How could I be so blind?)
Not to see the door (Not to see the door)
Closing on the world (Closing on the world)
I now hunger for (I now hunger for)
Looking through my tears (Looking through my tears)
I miss the hungry years (I miss the hungry years)
I miss the hungry years (The hungry years)
