Younger

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wish I was younger The fat kid with the big, blue eyes full of wonder No shame, no fame, no worries, the king of wiffle ball (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) Without a care at all I wish I was younger Keeping track of the lightning strikes and the thunder Barely thirteen, no hurry, my feet over the wall (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) It doesn't matter if I fall [Chorus] I wish I was younger I wish I was younger [Verse 2] I wish I was younger Barbies and fashion shows with my brother So clear, no fear, no bullies, I didn't even know (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) Where did all that magic go? I remember third grade, shades, new rollerblades 4 foot 2, feeling 10 foot 8 Classic Mario I remember charades, your braids, my first date Working at the pool, barely ever getting paid Do you remember those days? I wish I was younger Getting high with my friends outside in the summer Never cool, never had a lot of money, but damn we had it all (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) We had it all [Chorus] I wish I was younger I wish I was younger I wish I was younger [Verse 3] I wish I was younger Butterflies in my chest when I asked for your number You smiled and said, "You're funny" Two words and I was gone (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) You wrote it on my arm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) I swear, we set off the alarm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh) [Outro] Do you remember making out in the stands? Showing up late and getting kicked out of band? Poor Mr. Kafer never could understand Just take me back to who I was when I was younger Do you remember riding home in the rain? That Sunday morning, playing Songs About Jane? And from that moment I was never the same Just take me back to who I was when I was younger Just take me back to who I was when I was younger Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
