I was thinking back to when I was younger
Long hair, restless summer
I was somewhere in the middle of nowhere
I learned to put on a face just to have friends
Perpetually wanting something
More than myself, more than I was

When I was younger
Wished I was older
Wished I was taller
My whole life felt so much smaller
Now that I'm older
World off my shoulder
Save all your pennies and wells
I wouldn't change anything

I wish I could go back just to tell her
It all will work out you’re not gonna
Feel this way, not forever
And you'll lie awake in tears 'til the morning
You're not gonna know everything when you're 14
You don't even know at 25
And that's alright

When I was younger
Wished I was older
Wished I was taller
My whole life felt so much smaller
Now that I'm older
World off my shoulder
Save all your pennies and wells
I wouldn't change anything
