Younger Me

Wish I could be friends with younger me Watching TV while mom pours a cup of tea Worries that last just for one day

Smelling the grass on my way home

Giggles in class

Throwing stones in the water

Youngest daughter that wants to be older, taller, smarter

Little girl, don’t grow up too fast Listen up, don’t you worry yet

Little girl, it’s not as pretty as it seems Little girl, dare to close your eyes

It’s a trap, don’t you realize?

Little girl, it’s a secret I can’t keep

Wish I could meet the kids of the town

Oh, we played hide and seek

Streetlights showed us it’s over, the day

I’m old and afraid that memories like these will fade

Now I’ve been stuck here staring at my phone Nobody told me life would get so cold

And I’ve been looking - don’t know where to go I wish I could go back

Little girl, don’t grow up too fast Listen up, don’t you worry yet

Little girl, it’s not as pretty as it seems Little girl, dare to close your eyes

It’s a trap, don’t you realize?

Little girl, it’s a secret I can’t keep

Candy stuck in my pocket

I don’t mind, I don’t mind

Jealous of all the cool kids

All the time, all the time

Afraid of the dark so mom would show me all the stars in the sky And keep on the light

Little girl, don’t grow up too fast

Listen up, don’t you worry yet

Little girl, it’s not as pretty as it seems (don’t you worry, don’t you worry) Oh, little girl, dare to close your eyes

It’s a trap, don’t you realize?

Little girl, it’s a secret I can’t keep (don’t you worry, don’t you worry)

Oh, little girl, don’t you worry Little girl, don’t you worry

Little girl, it’s a secret I can’t keep
