Thoughts and Poems are the Same Thing

maddie (a song)

Childhood memories
All blown away now
Felt like centuries
But it wasn't, somehow

Where did time go?
She's almost 21 now
Childhood memories
Just memories, somehow

It used to be Barbie Dolls
Whispers through bathroom stalls
Slumber parties, rom-coms,
Ballerina shoes on

Now she's had a broken heart,
Frat parties, boys, don't start
I'm only a year younger
But I feel so much younger

Maddie, Maddie
Maddie, Maddie

She tells me all these stories,
Lots of college unclarity
About a boy who swore he,
Loved her but was sorry

But at least now she knows
What she wants in a man
Pain she never shows
But do any of us have a plan?

It used to be Barbie Dolls
Whispers through bathroom stalls
Slumber parties, rom-coms,
Ballerina shoes on

Now she's had a broken heart,
Frat parties, boys, don't start
I'm only a year younger
But I feel so much younger

I feel so much younger.

Who we were, who we are
I don't know anymore
We opened a brand new door

Childhood memories,
Felt like centuries,
But she's almost 21 now...
All grown up somehow

Will the nostalgia pass,
Or will it keep holding me back?
Childhood memories,
Just memories now.

Maddie, Maddie.
Just memories now.
We'll make new memories now.
