i spoke as a child

everyone has days like i'm havin'

holdin' on to anything that i can

to keep myself from anything but laughin'

looking back as far as i can stand

out my window winter is almost over

i can no more see the sun behind these clouds

lookin' back on where i was one year ago today

laughin' at the shape i'm in now

when i was a child i spoke as a child

but all i heard was how i should get ahead

now growing up it ain't anything but all

this indecision with these debts and doubts and worries

hanging over my head

when i was a child i spoke as a child

i wish i could remember what i said

i'd like to find that old time feelin'

somewhere in between what i've become

somewhere down the line it must have seemed appealing

so i suppose that it must work for some

but i wanna go back to going crazy

believing every word that i was told

you know sometimes growing up i think i'm getting wiser

and then other times i think i'm getting old

when i was a child i spoke as a child

but all i heard was how i should get ahead

now growing up it ain't anything but all this

indecision with these debts and doubts and

worries hangin' over my head

when i was a child i spoke as a child

i wish i could remember what i said

when i was a child i spoke as a child

god i wish i could remember what i said
