[Intro]
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take 'em back
Take 'em back
Take 'em back
Take 'em back
[Verse 1]
When I was a little, I just wanted to get old
Waiting for the day I didn't do what I was told
I could have a big house on the beach with all the hoes
Swimmin' in the sauce after reaching all my goals
When I was a little, that's what I didn't wanna be
Say 'fuck it' to the rules, I could finally be free
I could fly up to the sky, I could swim all in the sea
I could climb all of the mountains, I just gotta wait and see
When I was a littlе I be jealous of grown ups
It'd be ovеr for you from the day that I grow nuts
In my mind I'm ticking off the days 'till I blow up
Getting out of school and live my life would be so fun
When I was a little, know I hated the basics
Go and study medicine so I can go save shit
Feeling like the rocks that were still standing when waves hit
Patient for the moment I could flow like I'm sailing
[Bridge]
Prayed for times I vibe like this
I paid no mind, those times I miss
I played with bricks and dreams I stacked
Now I wish I could go back
Back to them days I had no stress
My stress was tests I always passed
I spent my time looking ahead
Now I wish I could look back
[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know
When did I become too old
To fit in bouncy castles? Never had the
Feelin' I was grown
I don't know, I don't know
When did I become too old
To fit in bouncy castles? Never had the
Feelin' I was grown
[Verse 2]
Grew up a little, I was somewhere in the middle
You thought I knew but I didn't, only remember the feeling
Was slowly losing my youth, I was too busy to enjoy it
I didn't live in the moment, I was my only opponent
I think I needed a lesson to know to live in the present
To go and live in the gifts, before undoing the wrapping
To fall and stay there a moment before getting up and stepping
Towards the future I have 'cause all this shit is a mess
Putting on my glasses and I see so many lost years
Losing curiousity, regret I never lost fear
Living in the light but I was looking in the dark where
I was always paralyzed, I had so many heartbreaks
Found my watch, but I lost the time
I was breaking rules, but I paid the fine
Hanging over freely but I cut the line
I forgot to be free and I lost my mind
[Bridge]
Prayed for times I vibe like this
I paid no mind, those times I miss
I played with bricks and dreams I stacked
Now I wish I could go back
Back to them days I had no stress
My stress was tests I always passed
I spent my time looking ahead
Now I wish I could look back
[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know
When did I become too old
To fit in bouncy castles? Never had the
Feelin' I was grown
I don't know, I don't know
When did I become too old
To fit in bouncy castles? Never had the
Feelin' I was grown
[Verse 3]
Walking past my old school, it was never this small
Grandma gon' call, and she gon'
Tell me that she proud of me, I never respond
Hang up and bawl, because I
Go through days and weeks and months and years
Doing work, forgetting that I'm here
In the mirror who is in my stare?
Days are greying faster than my hair
Can't remember last time I had fun
Last time I was jumping in the sun
Last time I was on a trampoline
Last time I was him and wasn't me
Wish I cared less and I wish I played more
Wish I felt blessed and I wish I enjoyed
I can never go back, we can only go forward
Imma teach that lesson to my daughter
[Outro]
Burning, now I smoulder 'cause the flame went out at like 14
Wanted to be older but that shit, it wasn't what it seemed
Drowning in nostalgic tears, soaking in the memories
Little me he disappeared, didn't see that he was free
