I spent my youth My teenage youth Wishin' and hopin' Dreaming for an occasion Thinking it would end All of lives little miseries
Then it came The moment I'd waited for No problems were solved More were just created And how I did terribly wish I was back to the time before
It was joyous, it was wonderful For a while it was everything But these things change These things get complicated And how I did terribly wish I was back to the time before
Perhaps not really As not everything I'd want to undo But just the chance to feel Feel less confused Feel less heartbroken Feel less destroyed Feel like there was hope To live a life less complicated
I look to my past The life I had The life I wanted to continue The life I wished to create The life I planned I look at this all And how I do terribly wish I was back to the time before
I look to the future All I see is bleakness Dreams that will never be Never be fully achieved Never be fully enjoyed I know the reason why The reason why I now Terribly do wish I was back to the time before
