I don't wish to be a kid
Ten years back
All work undid
Not if it's the same old life
It's a waste of seeking just to hide
I don't wish to be a kid
I'd sooner end than start again
Those simpler times
The limp and spineless
Silent sobbing in the bathroom stall
Try to remind
That you'll be fine
One more minute
One more hour
Wait a year
A little longer
Then look back upon this day
And tell me
We made it out okay
I don't wish to be a kid
Sadness tidied
Washed and trimmed
Forget your hat to catch a cold
Fake it, maybe you'll stay home
I don't wish to be a kid
Growing has its benefits
The age of learning
The art of preserving
Don't you make a sound
Until you must
If you feel it hurting
You know it's working
Keep pushing through
Another day
Wait a month
It sounds cliché
Time never stops
Just hold your view
And darling, I promise
We made it through
