The world is spinning way to fast,

I just want to slow it down. 

The changes are driving me crazy

And I don't like who I am. 

I miss when I was younger,

Can I just be me?

 

The summers in the woods,

And the mornings in the pool. 

The ice cream before breakfast,

No worrying about school. 

I miss when I was younger

And I just want to be me. 

 

The world is going faster now,

And I'm not ready for the change. 

The stress of life comes piling on,

The world won't give me a break. 

I miss when I was younger

It was just me. 

 

Grades spinning out of control,

Social life all a wreck. 

I want the days of pretending,

And running beneath the trees. 

I miss when I was younger. 

Do you remember when I was just me?

 

Days in my grandmother's attic,

Nights with black and white TV. 

The spoiling by grandparents,

Whatever I wanted to eat. 

I miss when I was younger. 

That was just me.
