Once in a while I act like a child |
|
To feel like a kid again |
|
It feels like a prison |
|
In the body you're living in |
|
Because everyone's watching |
|
Greedy to start talking |
|
I'm losing my innocence |
|
Wish I weren't a little girl |
|
Who felt the weight of the world |
|
It would be nice to start over again |
|
Before we burn out |
|
I'd give my breath |
|
Let's play pretend |
|
Remember the times |
|
We had soda for wine |
|
And got by on gratitude |
|
The worst they could do to you |
|
Was check your attitude |
|
Yeah, when fights were for fun |
|
We had water for guns |
|
And a place we could call our own |
|
How we lost hold of that |
|
I guess I'll never know |
|
It would be nice to start over again |
|
Before we burn out |
|
I'd give my breath |
|
Let's play pretend |
|
And when it's the end |
|
Our lives will make sense |
|
And love, even |
|
We won't have to play pretend |
