[Intro: Stephanafro]
I can't go back, but I still try
Through the cracks in my mind
Where my memories hide
The world's moving fast and I don't belong
It all happened in—happened in—happened in—happened in—

[Verse 1: Stephanafro]
We were kings of the cul-de-sac
Playin' games and sharin' laughs
Dreamin' big and scrapin' knees
And every summer felt like centuries
Now the days blur like a fever dream
Scrolling faces on a glowing screen
Life was easier when we didn't know
What the world had waiting down thе road
But the clock doesn't care if you bеg or plead
It keeps spinning circles while you're stuck at speed
And the mirror shows a face I don't always believe
Who knew nostalgia could feel like grief?

[Chorus: Stephanafro]
Can't go back, but I still try
Through the cracks in my mind
Where my memories hide
The world's moving fast and I don't belong
It all happened in a flash, where did it go wrong?
I'm outside, just caught in the fact
I can't go back
But I can learn to be a kid again
[Verse 2: Stephanafro]
We're chasin' what we can't explain
Tradin' time for some pocket change
Swipin' left on the way we feel
Scrollin' away what we think is real
Remember nights when the stars stood still?
The moon felt like ours, and the world was until
Until we knew what growing up cost
And how much in the sense we lost

[Chorus: Stephanafro]
I can't go back, but I still try
Through the cracks in my mind
Where my memories hide
The world's moving fast and I don't belong
It all happened in a flash, where did it go wrong?
I'm outside, just caught in the fact
I can't go back
But I can learn to be a kid again

[Verse 3: Stephanafro]
It's not just the years, it's the way they play tricks
Like shadows stretching, pulling the minutes
One day it's new, and the next day it's old
Time's never quite yours, you're just on loan
But maybe the magic wasn't lost
Just tucked in the folds of what we forgot
I'm looking back at the day gone past
Maybe, just maybe, I'll learn to be a kid again
[Outro: Stephanafro]
A kid again
I'll learn to be a kid again
And maybe, just maybe, I'll be a kid again
