I Spoke as a Child

Everyone has days like I'm having,

Holdin on to anything that I can,

To keep myself from anything but laughing,

Looking back as far as I can stare.

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,

Laughing 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
