This Old Suit
There's a kid in me that wishes he
Wasn't wearing this old suit
That looks to show the age of old
If only people knew
This thinning skin that holds me in
Also holds this childish mind
If it were let loose what it would do
Is run fast, free, and wild
I'm not thinking that of past regrets
I've loved the life I've lived
I just wish the shape I'm in
Was still that of a kid
It's hard to run, skip, and jump
Acting out the fool
When all adulthood tells you how you should
Follow at the rules
I just want to see this kid in me
Having the best of times
Which was easier to do when this suit was new
Tailored more to this childish mind
