Everything is new, running around carefree
Almost like the taste of tea,
Bitter and new to me.
I don’t have time to oversee
The many things
Surrounding me.

Who wouldn’t want to be young forever?
As you grow older, you become more clever.
Leaving behind the innocence,
That just sounds like pure nonsense!

I went to chasing butterflies and picking dandelions,
To getting stressed out and lying.
“Enjoy life while you are still young.”
I wish I could just hang up
The phone call I received from adulthood.

I wish I could turn back time,
And get tucked in for bedtime.
The fairy tales still trying hard to keep hanging,
But my mind is commanding
To let those childish memories leave, to be more understanding.

I didn’t want to let them leave,
It is everything that I want to believe.
What happened with the ‘Happily Ever After?’
Where are the children’s laughter?

I want to go back,
But all I have are flashbacks.
Can’t I go back,
I’m having a panic attack.
I’m growing up, can’t youth just call me back?
