I can't shake the feeling That time is passing too quickly, I don't jump in puddles anymore. Some may say it's no big deal, "It happens to every being" But time is passing too quickly, For me to feel at home. Maybe I feel too deeply, Maybe I should flow freely But I've never felt like a child more. I can't find my footing In this big, bag world that's demeaning; Prowling at lunging at younglings, Tearing apart your heart-strings And you are supposed to bear it As if you've lived this life before. And I am supposed to live this, The time that's passing too quickly But I eant to be a little kid, Chasing butterflies, feeling giddy. Please take me back a decade ago.
