TURN BACK TIME

TURN BACK TIME

I miss old times.

Remember when we were just kids,

Refusing to go to sleep,

Always being afraid of things we'd miss

If we closed our eyes

Knowing our hearts would cry.

I miss wanting to be alive.

Because when I was a kid

I couldn't even close one eye

But now I find them cry every time

I realize

I have to wake up.

I miss the feeling of my legs wanting to run

How all I ever wanted to do

Was make trouble with a water gun

But somehow I always come undone

With a hollow feeling in my chest.

How did I become this person,

That needs to be rehearsing

Every time being uncertain

Before speaking to someone with authorizing version?

I miss the feeling of feeling alive

Is there anyway we could turn back time?
