Woke up from a dream, swear to god
I was nine again
Climbing all those trees, fighting wars
Forgetting time again
Getting into fights with boys
Called me fat and bossy again
Trying to prove I was tougher, rougher, smarter than them
These days I figure nothing really changes
I'm getting better and wiser about swimming through the waves
Been dreaming bout simpler days I can remember
Oh please don't wake me I'm not ready for the weight
Swinging hard and high, I would jump
Try to fly again
Slingshot in my jeans, ripped shirt, Imma
Lost boy - I'd been
Clinging to the hope that all who'd left would come back - but then
If only I believed in wonder and magic again
These days I figure nothing really changes
I'm getting better and wiser about swimming through the waves
Been dreaming bout simpler days I can remember
Oh please don't wake me I'm not ready for the weight
Sometimes I wish it all would last
These figments in the past
But richer things they call me back
To the present where you're at
Nothing changes oh
Oh please don't wake me
These days I figure nothing really changes
I'm getting better and wiser about swimming through the waves
Been dreaming bout simpler days I can remember
Oh please don't wake me I'm not ready for the weight
