Girl we made it to the top   We went so high we couldn't stop   We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere   Two of us together, building castles in the air      We spun so fast we couldn't tell   The gold ring from the carousel   How could we know the ride would turn out bad   Everything we wanted, was everything we had      I miss the hungry years, the once upon a time   The lovely long ago, we didn't have a dime   Those days of me and you, we lost along the way      How could I be so blind, not to see the door   Closing on the world, I now hunger for   Looking through my tears, I miss the hungry years      We shared our daydreams one by one   Making plans was so much fun   We set our goals and reached the highest star   Things that we were after, were much better from afar      Here we stand just me and you   With everything and nothing too   It wasn't worth the price we had to pay   Honey, take me home, let's go back to yesterday      I miss the hungry years, the once upon a time   The lovely long ago, we didn't have a dime   Those days of me and you, we lost along the way      How could I be so blind, not to see the door   Closing on the world, I now hunger for   Looking through my tears, I miss the hungry years   I miss the hungry years
