Half Our Lives Lyrics
Oh I want every second of the minutes in the hours of these days
Cause there's too many trees to climb
And secret spots to find down by the lake
Oh the fireflies are out and momma's calling now
We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights steal away half our lives
And we will spend our days finding helpless competition to defeat
Yeah we'll chase away the girls and pretend
that we don't want 'em on our street
Yeah the sun is running too
Being chased off by the moon
And we should go to bed but we'll catch fireflies instead
We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights steal away
And I don't want these days to ever be over
We can't let these nights just steal away
Oh just stay awake with me
Won't you stay awake with me
Oh stay awake with me
We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights steal away
And I don't want these days to ever be over
We can't let these nights steal away half our lives
Cause there's too many trees to climb
And secret spots to find down by the lake
Oh the fireflies are out and momma's calling now
We can't let these nights steal away half our lives
Yeah we'll chase away the girls and pretend
that we don't want 'em on our street
Yeah the sun is running too
Being chased off by the moon
And we should go to bed but we'll catch fireflies instead
We can't let these nights steal away
And I don't want these days to ever be over
We can't let these nights just steal away
Won't you stay awake with me
Oh stay awake with me
We can't let these nights steal away
And I don't want these days to ever be over
We can't let these nights steal away half our lives

really like this song, any comments/??? kinda confused about what it means. maybe its about cherishing the time we are given and live life to the fullest???
This song makes me cry. It makes me remember that I'm a teenager now, no longer a child. Sometimes this is good, but I miss the days when I could go play outside with my friends and I'd forget all my troubles.
I can't do that anymore, (I have more fun when I DO go out though. xD) and I'm not looking forward to getting a job, etc.
After that I won't really have much to live for except Heaven. Which is a good thing, but it's quite a long way off...
it is about a boy who realizes that he's growing up and he's not looking forward to it. it is peter pan's theme song. :P
I would have ot agree with princ. I belive he is explaining how he wants to stop time and just spend his time doing the things he wants, not the things he has to. this song really touches me every time I hear it.
