When I Was Ten Lyrics

I feel like something's missing

The better days I'm reminiscing of

Before things got real

Before I took the wheel

Wanna go back for sure

To time more pure

When I had no fear

And things seemed more clear

When nothing ever seemed to matter

Way before I ever had her

Back when

Times didn't seem so hard

When I could

Run through the yard, carefree

Do all things we weren't allowed to

And then pretend that we had no clue

I wanna see my grandma's smile

She was the best by a mile

I want my dad to know

Just how great a path he showed

Yeah things were really great then

I sure do miss when I was ten

I wish I could go back to feeling ageless

I wish I could go back to being shameless

Back when I thought I had the answers

Before I ever heard of cancer

When things were way less material

We'd just debate about cereal

Before I knew what a text was

Back when we'd play outside just because

Yeah that's when

Times didn't seem so hard

When I could run through the yard, carefree

Do all the things we weren't allowed to

And then pretend that we had no clue

I miss my Grandma's smile

She was the best by a mile

And I hope dad you know

Just what a great path you've showed

Yeah things were really great then

I sure do miss when I was 10
