Some words are easy to say

But when you don't feel the same

You better head the other way

Some songs are easy to learn

But when you don't know the words

It's hard when it's your turn

But now that we're older we understand why

Some people change and some just never decide

We gotta be careful with what we let into our lives

I still wanna play in the backyard

Don't wanna feel like knocking me so hard

Play with my friends send them a postcard

Be able to eat anything I want

Remember when life was just a sweet rhyme

Now all I have to think about is time

I still wanna play in the backyard

Can I just go back and restart

Some days I wake up and find

That being grown up is like a rollercoaster ride

And sometimes I feel ready to bloom

But then I think it's too soon

I might be overthinking it too

But now that we're older we understand why

Some people change and some just never decide

We're floating around not getting a grip on life

I still wanna play in the backyard

Don't wanna feel like knocking me so hard

Play with my friends send them a postcard

Be able to eat anything I want

Remember when life was just a sweet rhyme

Now all I have to think about is time

I still wanna play in the backyard

Can I just go back and restart

Go back and restart
