[Intro]
Seriously? You're gonna- wh-
Okay, ugh
Can I just- *sigh*
Whatever man, whatever
[Verse 1]
Lately, I’ve been stressed by everything
School, being unemployed, all of it's depressing
What gets me through days is my romantic fling
But inside I sing to my life's king, saying
Come on, give me a break
I’m trying to dream, but it seems like I'm always awake
I shouldn't have to worry about the amount of money I make
All of that just creates people who are stupid and fake
Honestly, I wish I could go back to the days
When you could avoid stress and have fun in countless ways
I wish everything I'm saying didn't sound cliché
I'm just trying to make sense of all of this haze
In my head, it's all cloudy and messed up
Half full, half empty, not sure how I see the cup
Living in the present is boring, I've had enough
Let’s go back to the time when we didn’t have to grow up
[Chorus]
We didn't have to worry at all
Everyone was equal, big or small
We never had any responsibility
And everything was a possibility
(When we were kids!)
No one told us how to think
No one asked what we smoke or drink
Black or white, gay or straight
Back then, there was no hate
(When we were kids!)
[Verse 2]
I guess it’s unfair to say this when
I, myself, have only lived for two sets of ten
And I know what you're thinking, "Oh no, not this again
He's still a kid, why doesn't this loser just go get some friends?"
Ahem, let me interject you for a minute
No matter your age, it’s still a nice thought, isn't it?
To turn back the clock, get out of the bullshit
Be a child again, and dive into a ball pit, or
Play with toys, run outside in the sun
When the only thing in life that mattered was fun
Maybe now you're with me, or I'm still an army of one
Either way, it's a war, whoops, I just made a pun
I even wonder what I'm all about
But just know the words on this paper is what I'm trying to get out
And for all of you listening having some sort of doubt
I'll simply look at you straight in the face, and shout
[Chorus]
We didn't have to worry at all
Everyone was equal, big or small
We never had any responsibility
And everything was a possibility
(When we were kids!)
No one told us how to think
No one asked what we smoke or drink
Black or white, gay or straight
Back then, there was no hate
(When we were kids!)
[Verse 3]
I know I should be taking some of the blame I have been shaking
But instead I feel like making this instead of escaping this
Thing we call reality, which has an actuality
That grabs and twists the actual form of morality
I don't get adulthood, it's surrounded by flare
The only thing it comes with is a list that isn't fair
No one cares what you think, unless your opinion is theirs
You bring your ideas to the world and they're stepped on like stairs
That's why I want to go back to when I was a kid
Relive all the memories, redo all the things that I did
When all the things besides play seemed way too absurd
Have a good day, everyday, and not give a damn in the world
[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh!
(So stop trying to change the minds of everyone and do a favor for us
Drop everything, and sing along to the chorus)
[Chorus]
We didn't have to worry at all
Everyone was equal, big or small
We never had any responsibility
And everything was a possibility
(When we were kids!)
No one told us how to think
No one asked what we smoke or drink
Black or white, gay or straight
Back then, there was no hate
(When we were kids!)
