Childhood.

And I'll stand here, staring at my feet
feeding the deafening silence the sounds it craves
the galloping wind envelops my soul
once again Im wanting to be home
the place where I once never had to worry about belonging
never had to worry about responsibility or growing up

They never told us growing up was so destructive
How I wish my only worry was a bruised knee and no TV
no little lies, no hurtful boys who cringe behind alibis
the little girl in me wants to sit and cry, as you tell me you cant be with me
why wont a kiss fix this? why wont a kiss fix this?

can we lay and watch the clouds shape
writing in chalk and wanting to skip
feeding our souls the taste of innocence, the sight of first love
the galloping wind envelops my soul
once again Im wanting to be home
the place where I once never had to worry about belonging
never had to worry about responsibility or growing up

They never told us growing up was so destructive
How I wish my only worry was a bruised knee and no TV
no little lies, no hurtful boys who cringe behind alibis
the little girl in me wants to sit and cry, as you tell me you cant be with me
why wont a kiss fix this? why wont a kiss fix this?

I'll just hold this light, I'll just hold this light
inside of me, I wont let it fade.. I wont let it die
I'll be ok.. it will be ok... Im ok....ok.
