Hey mum
What happened to dad
Why'd you have to be so sad?
I must admit
It's been quite a bit of time since I was last mad

Don't say you're giving away
My favourite piano, please
It's where I learned the melody from
An advert I saw on TV

So
Darling isn't it strange
All I can say is
We'll never be young again

Don't go running away
Darling just stay
We'll never be young again

We would be happy
Running around
Exploring all these possibilities
I could be Captain Kirk
Or conquering earth
Peculiar games we'd play

How funny is it
When we all grow up
Dreaming of a simpler time
I can't explain
The feeling I get when everything seems to unwind

So
Darling isn't it strange
All I can say
We'll never be young again

Don't go running away
Darling just stay
We'll never be young again

I can't explain what the future holds
And I can't explain all the truth that's told
I can't explain it all
Can't explain it
We'll never be young again

No matter where we're from and who we become
It's only just a rocket we made
So grab your microscope
Your Moon boots and coat for a galaxy far, far away

Darling isn't it strange
All I can say is
We'll never be young again
Don't go running away
Darling just stay
We'll never be young again

I can't explain what the future holds
And I can't explain all the truth that's told
I can't explain it all
Can't explain it
We'll never be young again
