I Don't Wish to be a Kid Lyrics

I don't wish to be a kid

Ten years back

All work undid

Not if it's the same old life

It's a waste of seeking just to hide

I don't wish to be a kid

I'd sooner end than start again

Those simpler times

The limp and spineless

Silent sobbing in the bathroom stall

Try to remind

That you'll be fine

One more minute

One more hour

Wait a year

A little longer

Then look back upon this day

And tell me

We made it out okay

I don't wish to be a kid

Sadness tidied

Washed and trimmed

Forget your hat to catch a cold

Fake it, maybe you'll stay home

I don't wish to be a kid

Growing has its benefits

The age of learning

The art of preserving

Don't you make a sound

Until you must

If you feel it hurting

You know it's working

Keep pushing through

Another day

Wait a month

It sounds cliché

Time never stops

Just hold your view

And darling, I promise

We made it through
