Passions to the past
The purities of childhood

No longer for dragonflies

Your off days are often looked over, ignored
Work through it, you need to get paid

Coins in fountains
And dreams of chocolate cake
You barely waste a penny on ramen
If only wishing on stars wasn't fake

Magic is for losers, now
Seeing is believing
You staying up past your bedtime
Is what every kid is dreaming
