  • I wish I was younger
    The fat kid with the big, blue eyes full of wonder
    No shame, no fame, no worries, the king of wiffle ball (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    Without a care at all
    I wish I was younger
    Keeping track of the lightning strikes and the thunder
    Barely thirteen, no hurry, my feet over the wall (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    It doesn't matter if I fall

    I wish I was younger
    I wish I was younger

    I wish I was younger
    Barbies and fashion shows with my brother
    So clear, no fear, no bullies, I didn't even know (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    Where did all that magic go?
    I remember third grade, shades, new rollerblades
    4 foot 2, feeling 10 foot 8
    Classic Mario
    I remember charades, your braids, my first date
    Working at the pool, barely ever getting paid
    Do you remember those days?
    I wish I was younger
    Getting high with my friends outside in the summer
    Never cool, never had a lot of money, but damn we had it all (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    We had it all

    I wish I was younger
    I wish I was younger
    I wish I was younger

    I wish I was younger
    Butterflies in my chest when I asked for your number
    You smiled and said, "you're funny"
    Two words and I was gone (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    You wrote it on my arm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    I swear, we set off the alarm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

    Do you remember making out in the stands?
    Showing up late and getting kicked out of bands?
    Poor Mr. Kafer never could understand
    Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
    Do you remember riding home in the rain?
    That Sunday morning, playing songs about Jane?
    And from that moment I was never the same
    Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
    Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
    Just take me back to who I was when I was younger Writer/s: Chad Vaccarino, Chris Kuffner, Ian Axel, Oscar Rodriguez, Zach Jones
