[Verse 1]
Everyone has days like I'm havin'
Holdin' on to anything that I can
To keep myself from anything but laughin'
Looking back as far as I can stand

[Refrain 2]
Out my window winter is almost over
I can almost see the sun behind these clouds
Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today
Laughin' at the shape I'm in now

[Chorus]
When I was a child
I spoke as a child
But all I heard was how I was supposed to 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

[Verse 2]
I'd like to find that old time feelin'
Somewhere in between what I've become
Somewhere down the line it must have seemed appealing
So I suppose that this must work for some
[Refrain 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 hangin' 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
