Cheerios & Chocolate Milk

Can I be honest with you? Things they ain't how they used to be I'm talking 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts Cheerios and chocolate milk Can I speak softly just to you? I'm feeling blue Can we keep holding hands standing still? Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh Where did I go wrong I've been growing up for too long I cling to the past but it's gone And I have gotta be moving it on But I'm playing this game like a pawn And I weak but I've gotta be strong And I haven't been writing my wrongs But I know in my heart that I'm strong Gotta have hope, and freedom And light-in-the-dark believing It's laughing when you should be grieving It's staying when you should be leaving It's seeing when things are deceiving It's all of the things that I'm feeling It's breaking the glassy ceiling, oh I don't know but I been told That staying young is getting pretty old But I don't know I don't know Can I be honest with you? Things they ain't how they used to be I'm talking 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts Cheerios and chocolate milk Can I speak softly just to you? I'm feeling blue Can we keep holding hands standing still? Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh I'm tossing and I'm turning And late night I'm burning And all the shit that I'm learning Has got me concerned because What if I don't earn it And what if I'm still hurting And all after all these years I still ain't deserving If younger me could see me now I wonder if I'd make him proud I don't know if he'd recognize the world that I'm in Where love and hate are interwined and no one seems to win Can I be honest with you? Things they ain't how they used to be I'm talking 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts Cheerios and chocolate milk Can I speak softly just to you? I'm feeling blue Can we keep holding hands standing still? Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh I don't know what the future holds But honestly, the truth be told I'm terrified of everything But we'll make it soon Soon... Can I be honest with you? Things they don't want to be good to me I'm talking 'bout always feeling that unfulfilled Cheerios and chocolate milk Can I speak softly just to you? I'm feeling blue Can we keep holding hands standing still? Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh
