People say that time flies by and one day you realize as you're lying in bed that you're 80 years old and it's 3 in the morning and you're trying to remember what it was like to have a 20 year old mind and a 10 year old heart but see by the time I was 10 I already had a broken heart see when I was 9 I met a boy whose eyes put the stars to shame a lad whose smile could light up the entire world see when I was nine I met the boy of my dreams But to him, I was but another weird girl see what he doesn't know is that the first time I saw him leaning up against that wall I thought to myself I don't want anyone else but him see what he doesn't know is that as we grew older I fell in love with him see what he doesn't know is that no matter how many times he breaks my heart my heart still looks for him but there is one thing I know and that is that when time suddenly flies by and it's 3 in the morning and I'm 80 years old and have forgotten everything and am trying to remember what it was like to have a 20 year old mind and a 10 year old heart I know I know that I will remember him
