Younger

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

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

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

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

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger

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)

Do you remember making out in the stands?

Showing up late and getting kicked out of bands?

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
