There was a time
When I didn't feel this way
Nothing could ever get me down
And now I look back and see how times have changed
Right before my eyes so I've found
Cos I never thought that id be the one
To look back with age wishing I was young
Cos I've always wanted
To grow older
And have my mums height just reaching my shoulder
But I can't take it
I'm missing the time
Where muddy puddles were the only troubles on my mind
So take me back to the days where I was young
When I just learnt to walk but was so keen to run
When relationships were just a kiss chase playground game
When I was in my own world
When no one would change
And take me back to the days when everyone was kind
When there were no shadows chasing me to dim my mind
When I'm on my own sometimes
I wonder what life would be like if I was still younger
There was a time where my mum and dad towered over me
Giants in my sky (no, no, no)
And now I look back and I never though I'd see the world from here
I never thought I'd reach so high
Cos I never thought I'd be the fool
To look back to age wishing I was small
Cos I've always wanted to grow taller
And leave behind the disguise of being smaller
I can't take it
I'm missing the time
When my neck would ache from seeing my parents in the sky
So take me back to days
Where I was young
When I just learned to walk but was so keen to run
And when relationships were just a kiss chase playgroud game
When I was in my own world
When no one would change
Now take me back to the days when everyone was kind
When there were no shadows chasing me to dim my mind
Cos when I'm on my own sometimes
I wonder what life would be like if I was still younger
Cos I never thought that id be the guy
Who forces smiles when hes so alone inside
Cos I've hoped for some one listening
But I felt eyes on me my friends watching me drifting
And I can't take it I've only got one voice
To call out to my friends who see dead ends and the wrong choice
So take me back to days
Where I was young
So take me back to the days
When I was young
When I just learned to walk but was so keen to run
And when relationships were just a kiss chase playgroud game
When I was in my own world
When no one would change
Now take me back to the days
When everyone was kind
When there were no shadows chasing me to dim my mind
Cos when I'm on my own, sometimes I wonder
What life would be like if I was still younger
