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