We used to never say never

我们曾经从不说永不

Used to think we live for ever

曾经以为我们会永远活着

Flying free beneath the sun

在阳光下自由飞翔

...

Days go running and hiding

日子在奔跑和躲藏

The weeks are going slippin and sliding

周末在滑溜和滑动

Years leave quicker every time they come

每次到来，岁月总是更快流逝

Remember when we were young

Look back to the best of days

回首那些美好的日子

Collecting all yesterdays

As they build up one by one

它们一个个堆积起来

How we beg and we borrow

Say we'll do it tomorrow

But tomorrow never seems to come

Fying free beneath the sun

Days go running and hiding

When we were boys on the beach

Everything was in reach

But oh how the years they vanish
