The world says youre ready when youre eighteen
Well I was no exception to the rule.
Eager to try my hand at provin' that I was a man
Not an ounce of fear in anything I do.
Yeah, I thought I knew it all
Turns out I didnt have a clue
Before these walls were blue.
I remember sitting there in that old rocker
Praying, trying to get you back asleep
Well I'd found myself laughing at you laughing
Wishing the hand of time that I could cheat.
Yeah, I thought that I knew love
Turns out I didnt have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls were blue.
I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic,
I believe in a life inside these walls.
Now I believe
In dinosaurs, in toy trains and baseball
What are you gonna be for Halloween
I will be the villain and you will be the hero
And save the day the way that you saved me.
Yeah, I thought I knew myself,
Turns out I didnt have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls
Before these walls were blue.
