When I was growing up, the older kids always told me to enjoy my young years. 

To not wish my childhood away,

 that I should wait until I turn Dolls into calls, 

Toys into boys,

That I should hold back on runninh my finger-bones with phones.

I never listened 

The only wish I had on my birthday was that the next would come soon.

I exchanged valuable time for a nickel and a dime

Because thats how much I thought it was worth.

Now I crave to be 8 again, to nothave a care in the world, 

And have a birds nest on my head instead of my hair.

I wish I could relive that carefree life for just one day

Maybe then I could convince my younger self, 

To not wish time away.
