Younger

I wish I was younger

The fat kid with the big blue eyes

Full of wonder

No shame, no fame, no worries

The king of wiffle ball

Without a care at all

I wish I was younger

Keeping track of the lightning strikes

And the thunder

Barely thirteen, no hurry

My feet over the wall

It doesn't matter if I fall

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

Barbies and fashion shows

With my brother

So clear, no fear, no bullies

I didn't even know

Where did all that magic go?

I remember third grade

(Shades) New roller blades

Four-foot-two feeling ten-foot-eight

Classic Mario (It's-a me!)

I remember charades

(Your braids) My first date

Working at the pool

Barely ever getting paid

(Do you remember those days?)

I wish I was younger

Getting high with my friends outside

In the summer

Never cool, never had a lot of money

But damn, we had it all

We had it all

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

Butterflies in my chest when I asked

For your number

You smiled and said, "You're funny"

Two words and I was gone

You wrote it on my arm

I swear it set off the alarm

Do you remember making out in the stands?

Showing up late and getting kicked out of band

Poor Mr. Kayford never could understand

Just take me back to who I was when I was younger

Do you remember riding home in the rain?

That Sunday morning playing "Songs About Jane"

And from that moment I was never the same

Just take me back to who I was when I was younger

Just take me back to who I was when I was younger

Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
