When I was younger everything was simple
I didn’t have to worry about grades and relationships and my future
I just lived in my mind
Day after day
Things were good
I didn’t notice how the way I am would change how people view me
When I walk down the street holding hands with someone
When I tell people my name
When I share things with the people around me
I didn’t think about those things
I was just a kid
Like any other kid
I had a vivid imagination
I would live in a world of my own
When my friends excluded me
Called me names
Teased me
I could escape
Sitting on the swings imagining I was flying away
Anywhere I wanted to go
Maybe when we’re young is when we enjoy living the most
We don’t have to think about the things that give us a hard time
We have the ability to escape from the present and live in it
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
When I wasn’t constantly criticizing myself
Judging myself
Thinking about the things people say that put me down
Little by little
I wish I could go back to when I didn’t care so much about every tiny detail
But I don’t think that’s possible
When I’m to far into the future
I didn’t have to worry about grades and relationships and my future
I just lived in my mind
Day after day
Things were good
I didn’t notice how the way I am would change how people view me
When I walk down the street holding hands with someone
When I tell people my name
When I share things with the people around me
I didn’t think about those things
I was just a kid
Like any other kid
I had a vivid imagination
I would live in a world of my own
When my friends excluded me
Called me names
Teased me
I could escape
Sitting on the swings imagining I was flying away
Anywhere I wanted to go
Maybe when we’re young is when we enjoy living the most
We don’t have to think about the things that give us a hard time
We have the ability to escape from the present and live in it
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
When I wasn’t constantly criticizing myself

Thinking about the things people say that put me down
Little by little
I wish I could go back to when I didn’t care so much about every tiny detail
But I don’t think that’s possible
When I’m to far into the future
