Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm pulling down questions from my shelf
I'm askin' forgiveness
I ain't askin' nobody but myself
And I want you to know this
And I want you to know this
[Verse 2]
You're rifling through a box of toys
That were handed down to me
Just take out the ones you brought, and then
Give the rest to my family
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna go back to school, today
But I'm droppin' myself off
I'm throwin' the childhood seat away
I'm through rippin' myself off
I'm done rippin' myself off
[Verse 4]
Well, I'm child, then man, and child again
The toy broken boy soldier
I'm child, then man, then child again
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
Never gets older
The boy broken toy solider
The boy
The boy
