If Only I Could

I could worry about the little things 
The little things that don't matter
The material things 
The things nobody but myself sees

I could live in the past 
Or the future 
Or anything but the present 

And I could be mad about where I am right now
As if everyone else I know 
Isn't in a different place than me 

And I could wish to be you 
But maybe it's not trying to be you
It's trying to be anyone else but me

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it
