[Verse 1]
My momma used to sing me lullabies
She told me baby won't you close your eyes
I have never felt more alive

[Refrain]
Self-doubt and hatred, that shit came later

[Chorus]
I wish I was a kid
Running through the streets
I wish I was a kid
Playing hide and seek
We didn't know shit back then
I wish I was a kid again
When things were fun

I wish I was a kid (I wish)
I wish I was a kid (wish)
I wish I was a kid (I wish)
I wish I was a kid

[Verse 2]
Wanted to grow up counting every day
Now going back would make it all OK
No one told us it would be this way

[Refrain]
Self-doubt and hatred, always impatient

[Chorus]
I wish I was a kid
Running through the streets
I wish I was a kid
Playing hide and seek
We didn't know shit back then
I wish I was a kid again
When things were fun

I wish I was a kid (I wish)
I wish I was a kid (wish)
I wish I was a kid (I wish)
I wish I was a kid

[Hook]
All the anxiety in men
I wanna breathe again
I wanna breathe again
Don't want your pity men
I still know who I am
We just get lost sometimes

I wish I was a kid (I wish)
I wish I was a kid (wish)
I wish I was a kid (I wish)
I wish I was a kid

[Outro]
I wish I was a kid
I wish I was a kid
I wish I was a kid
