The Hungry Years

Girl 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 ride would turn out bad

Everything we wanted

Was everything we had

I miss the hungrier years

The once upon a time

The lovely long ago

We didn't have a dime

Those days of me and you

We lost along the way

How could I be so blind

Not to see the door

Closing on the world

I now hunger for

Looking through my tears

I miss the hungrier years

We shared our daydreams 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

Now here we stand just me and you

With everything and nothing too

It wasn't worth the price we had to pay

Honey take me home

Let's go back to yesterday

I miss the hungrier years

The once upon a time

The lovely long ago

We didn't have a dime

Those days of me and you

We lost along the way

How could I be so blind

Not to see the door

Closing on the world

I now hunger for

Looking through my tears

I miss the hungrier years

I miss the hungrier years
