[Verse 1:]
I, I wish it was 2004
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
And I wish everything wasn't so complicated
And I, I wish that I was still as tall
As the markings on the kitchen wall
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Lately, things haven't been the best for me
I know, you think, it's all in my head
I'm crazy for wondering what it's all for

[Chorus:]
But everyday
I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come
And take me away
And say "we're going back to 2004"

[Verse 2:]
I, I never had it all quite figured out
I never really learned what growing up was all about
And I still don't know
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I've done
They say that time flies when you're having fun
Does time only fly when you're young?
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Lately, things haven't been the best for me
I know, you think, it's all in my head
I'm crazy, for wondering what it's all for

[Chorus:]
But everyday
I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come
And take me away
And say "we're going back to 2004"

[Bridge:]
Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate and I cannot complain
The nerves, the stress, the total mess that's all inside my brain
But growing up just makes me really, really, really scared
And I don't think that I'm prepared

[Verse 3:]
I, I wish it was 2004
I wish my childhood was still in store
And I wish everything wasn't so
So complicated

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Lately, things haven't been the best for me
I know, you think, that it's all in my head
And I must be crazy, for wondering what it's all for
[Chorus:]
But everyday
I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come
And take me away
And say "we're going back to 200-"

[Outro:]
Yeah everyday
I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come
And take me away
And say "we're going back to 2004"
