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
