Keep the Future at the Door

Verse 1

My mother's clock keeps ticking on the wall

I counted up the years I haven't told

They're stacking boxes on the kitchen floor

And every one of them is getting old

Chorus

I don't wanna grow up yet

I'm not ready for the sunset

I don't wanna grow up yet

Keep the future at the door

Verse 2

My bedroom cast a shadow now

The posters peel but the walls hold

I made a wish on all the running lights

For one more summer that I'll never know

Pre-Chorus

And the years just keep on sliding by

Like a train I can't outride

Chorus

I don't wanna grow up yet

I'm not ready for the sunset

I don't wanna grow up yet

Keep the future at the door

Bridge

Maybe I'll wake up and the fear will be gone

Maybe the morning will be soft and warm

But tonight I'll hold the hands of all my hopeless plans

And ask them how I got this far

Chorus

I don't wanna grow up yet

I'm not ready for the sunset

I don't wanna grow up yet

Keep the future at the door

Keep the future at the door

Oh the future's at the door
