You would like to keep me here
Chained to the old ways
You’d wanna lock me in your dreams
Back from those old dreamy days
It’s not like we remember
It’s not like anything at all
Still we’d like to make believe
As we all grow so feeble and fat
Still we’d like to make believe
I guess there’s nothing wrong with that
Keep me here, darling keep me here
Keep me here, honey keep me here
You only see me as I was
More than a little bit dumb
Who’d ever have predicted
All of the things to come
It’s not like what we remember
It’s not like anything at all
Still we’d like to make believe
As we all grow so feeble and fat
Still we’d like to make believe
I guess there’s nothing wrong with that
You say, don’t go changing who you are
Don’t go changing my memoir
I prefer the way I like to recall
The past don’t need no overall
You’d like to stick me like a bug
And pretend that everything’s the same
I hate to shatter your fantasy
But you knew me by a different name
It’s not like we remember
It’s not like anything at all
Still we’d like to make believe
As we all grow so feeble and fat
Still we’d like to make believe
I guess there’s nothing wrong with that
