about

This song poured out of me so easily and is really special to me. I hope you love it. <3

lyrics

I remember when I was a girl who wasn’t scared to dream
when
Everything was possible
it seemed like
Every opportunity was waiting right in front of me
I’d just go for it
I’d run right toward it

Never getting lost in my head like I do now
Never hated getting out of bed like I do now
Never felt like dying with no good reason why and
I really miss that
I wanna go back

But that’s not how life works
I’m figuring that out

Wish I still believed in magic
fairy-tales and ghosts
But I grew up, it’s tragic
everybody knows
it’s painful changing
but I’ve had no choice lately
and most days I can’t take it anymore
I don’t wanna be a grown up
Don’t wanna be a grown up

When I was young I had this dream
on repeat
that I’d be walking down the street
singing so loud and then somebody would hear me
whisk me away
I would make my escape to the city
Yea
Yea

Wish I still believed in magic
fairy-tales and ghosts
But I grew up, it’s tragic
everybody knows
it’s painful changing
but I’ve had no choice lately
and most days I can’t take it anymore
I don’t wanna be a grown up
Don’t wanna be a grown up
I don’t wanna be a grown up
Don’t wanna be a grown up

It’s almost like all at once everything changed
now
it’s the exact same thing every single day

Wish I still believed in magic
fairy-tales and ghosts
But I grew up, it’s tragic
everybody knows
it’s painful changing
but I’ve had no choice lately
and most days I can’t take it anymore
I don’t wanna be a grown up (all at once everything changed)
Don’t wanna be a grown up (now every day's the same damn thing)
I don’t wanna be a grown up (all at once everything changed)
Don’t wanna be a grown up (now every day's the same damn thing)
I don’t wanna be a grown up (all at once everything changed)
Don’t wanna be a grown up (now every day's the same damn thing)
I don’t wanna be a grown up (all at once everything changed)
Don’t wanna be a grown up
