It's been some time since the smile upon my face

Had I sneaked previewing town

It's been a while since I gave chase

It's been some time since the girl from round my way

Came and took me by the hand

Been a long time since I came around

I can remember when I stood on my head

Walking straight across the ground

Still picture their laughing faces

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh

I was told to grow up soon, face my consequences

Being told it was high time, high time to come to my senses

Climbing up to the top floor, stood the look of pleasure

Such a silly aged man with an attic full of treasure

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

I remember when I was ten, things were somewhat better then

Time went by so easily, is this the way life's supposed to be?

But looking back I wonder why it seems to pass so quickly by

Memories can make you cry, I close my eyes, my tears I try to hide

I was thinking about Tamer Lane

Of all the funny places

I was thinking, a short time ago

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh

Catch me, I'm falling into my past

Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
