Younger

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 till the morning
You're not gonna know everything when you're fourteen
You don't even know at twenty-five
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
