I want to go back
to when I was little.
All I had to do was sit back
and enjoy it while it lasted,
but all I wanted to do
was grow up.
I tried so hard
to grow up
and now that I have
I want to go back.

I want to go back
to when "Stupid"
was a bad word
and the only time I cried
was when I hit my head.
I grew up
and "Stupid"
gets thrown around
like its nothing
and sometimes
I just break down and cry
because nothing
is going my way.
I want to go back.

I want to go back
to when the only work
was a worksheet on addition
and boys
still had "cooties"
Now,
I have to work nights
packing boxes
for UPS
and boys
can take over my life
with one look.
I want to go back.

I want to go back
to when life was simple.
Nothing ever went wrong
but I wanted to grow up
and now
I want to go back.
