| I feel it, it’s slipping away
|
| Cause' kids aren’t kids forever
|
| But it feels like yesterday
|
| When everything was simple
|
| It’s slipping away
|
| Just paint my canvas blurry
|
| And they call that Claude Monet
|
| Thinking ‘bout previous days
|
| When I was on shifts in the pizza place
|
| And I was putting soap on my pizza face
|
| All the girls with the butts in the jeans I’d chase
|
| And I keep chasing more with everything I saw
|
| I said I’d do the right thing instead of being wrong
|
| Said I’d be a rich man instead of being poor
|
| Things just aren’t how they’re meant to be at all
|
| Tell me when did everything get so complex
|
| We used to talk but now we comment
|
| I used to picture what I wanted
|
| And they’d say you can have it all but not yet
|
| My mums emailing me am I too busy
|
| For the woman who raised me friends that grew with me
|
| Cats in the cradle
|
| Raised a new kitty
|
| Can we can get another ticket
|
| Life goes too quickly man
|
| Sometimes I get overwhelmed
|
| But I breathe deep and I tell myself
|
| Remember the kid you are
|
| Remember the kid you are
|
| Sometimes I get overwhelmed
|
| When I’m stressed out and I’m not myself
|
| Remember to kid you are
|
| Remember the kid you are
|
| I remember racking at the shops once a day
|
| Pocket full of dreams thats just a phase
|
| Another year passed I don’t wanna cut the cake
|
| My old man telling me I’ll see tougher days
|
| Just lights whizzing by try catch the number plate
|
| Keys in the slot
|
| Still trying to pump the breaks
|
| We are just animals, we are just some apes
|
| The city is a jungle so its all fun and games
|
| And me I swing around like a wind chime
|
| Look all of our looks’ll fade in time
|
| Despite magazines and what you think right now
|
| Beauties only really on the inside
|
| They tell me all it is is a big ride
|
| Things get really dark before it hits light
|
| One day I’ll make kids of my own
|
| And I’ll tell em stay a kid when you’re grown
|
| Sometimes I get overwhelmed
|
| But I breathe deep and I tell myself
|
| Remember the kid you are
|
| Remember the kid you are
|
| Sometimes I get overwhelmed
|
| When I’m stressed out and I’m not myself
|
| Remember to kid you are
|
| Remember the kid you are
|
| And I don’t worry 'bout a thing, I got no time to overthink |
