Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see you changing, girl

From day to day

Impressed by and trying to imitate

Those who are older

Those who are colder

Suddenly embarrassed by your age

[Verse 2]

A bigger blessing, girl

Is being young

The power of not knowing

Where you belong

[Verse 3]

I try so hard to keep it

Not to lose that secret

Waiting for someone like you

To come along

[Verse 4]

Maybe it was me

That made you old

Stole whatever it was that made you glow

A little touch of somethin'

A lot of love for nothin'

And now our heart, once open

It will be closed
