Remember When... Lyrics

Remember when

We were building popsicle stick houses in the third grade

I felt taller back then

Like I could rule the world

And you told me

Take your time

But I didn't listen

Remember when in the seventh grade I cried

Cause she didn't wanna be my friend

But I'm learning to believe

That sometimes being seen

As someone who is different is better in the end

So I put on my princess dress and conquer the world

Forget about the demons beneath my curls

Whoa-Woah

And climb all the trees in my backyard

Until I'm just as tall as the giants I read about

Never scared of falling down and out

Waking up next to my cousin who's on the softball team

But she's got her own dream

And I know she'll come back to me

And I sing along to all the songs that made me

With friends that soon I will not see

Surrounded by people

Who believe

In living a life of creativity

So I put on my princess dress and conquer the world

Forget about the demons beneath my curls

Whoa-Woah

And climb all the trees in my backyard

Until I'm just as tall as the giants I read about

Never scared of falling down and out

And I guess I'll always be

Unfolding the universe

I'll never know all the answers

Broken hearts and battle scars

Will be my teachers

And accomplices of love

Will be my guide

So I put on my princess dress and conquer

The world

Forget about the demons beneath my curls

Woaaaaahhh

And climb all the trees in my backyard

And I am just as tall

As the giants I read about

Never scared of falling down and out
