'to be a kid again' by me! (sammytk); (Verse 1)Staring at a screen, checking off the listFunny how the simple things are the ones you missI’d trade this fancy phone for a neon water gunRunning 'til my lungs ache, hiding from the sunNo taxes, no emails, no "what do I do next?"Just trying not to ruin my brand-new sneakers, vexed,By a scraped-up knee and a lunchbox full of sweets,Reign of the driveway, queen of the streets. (Chorus)Oh, I wanna feel the grass underneath my feet.With a belly full of sugar, flying high on the swing seat.Wanna catch lightning bugs in a mason jar.Thinking that the moon is just a streetlamp, not a star.Wish I could wake up with nothing on my mind.But where I left my bicycle, or what I’ll go and find.Take me back to zero, take me back to when I was small enough to wanna act like a kid again. (Verse 2)I’m tired of being serious, nodding at the news.Wanna build a blanket fort and hear the funny bluesOf cartoons on Saturday, cartoons on the rug.And falling asleep safely with a teddy bear hug.The sky was always bluer, the days were way too long.And every single summer was a happy, happy song.Now I watch the clock, watching time go by.Why’d I ever tell myself I couldn't learn to fly? (Chorus)Oh, I wanna feel the grass underneath my feet.With a belly full of sugar, flying high on the swing seat.Wanna catch lightning bugs in a mason jar.Thinking that the moon is just a streetlamp, not a star.Wish I could wake up with nothing on my mind.But where I left my bicycle, or what I’ll go and find.Take me back to zero, take me back to when I was small enough to wanna act like a kid again. (Bridge)They say that we grow up, they say that we grow wise.But I’d give it all to see it through those wide-open eyes.No fear of the future, no regret of the past,Just living in the moment, making memories last! (Chorus)Yeah, I wanna feel the grass underneath my feet.With a belly full of sugar, flying high on the swing seat.Wanna catch lightning bugs in a mason jar.Thinking that the moon is just a streetlamp, not a star.Wish I could wake up with nothing on my mind.But where I left my bicycle, or what I’ll go and find.Take me back to zero, take me back to when I was small enough to wanna act like a kid again. (Outro)Just a kid again...No, I don't wanna be grown up today.Keep the sidewalk chalk, okay? Let me be a kid again.
