i spoke as a child
Everyone has days Like I'm having Holding onto to anything that I can To keep myself From anything but laughing Looking back as far as I can stand  Out my window, winter is almost over. I can almost see the sun behind the clouds Looking back on where I was one year ago today, laughing at the shape I'm in now.  When I was a child, I spoke as a child. But all I heard was how I should get ahead. Now growing up, it ain't anything but all this indecision With these debts and doubts and worries Hanging over my head. When I was a child, I spoke as a child. I wish I could remember what I said.  I'd like to find that old-time feeling Somewhere in between what I've become Somewhere down the line, it must have seemed appealing, So I suppose that it must work for some.  But I wanna go back to going crazy, Believing every word that I was told. You know, sometimes, growing up, I think I'm getting wiser, And then other times, I think I'm getting old.  When I was a child, I spoke as a child. But all I heard was how I should get ahead. Now growing up, it ain't anything but all this indecision With these debts and doubts and worries Hanging over my head. When I was a child, I spoke as a child. I wish I could remember what I said.  When I was a child, I spoke as a child. God, I wish I could remember what I said.
