2004

I, I wish it was 2004
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
And I wish everything wasn't so complicated
And I, I wish that I was still as tall
As the markings on the kitchen wall
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created

Lately, things haven't been the best for me
I know, you think, it's all in my head
I'm crazy, for wondering what it's all for
But everyday I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come and take me away
And say "we're going back to 2004"

I, I never had it all quite figured out
I never really learned what growing up was all about
And I still don't know
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I've done
They say that time flies when you're having fun
Does time only fly when you're young?

Lately, things haven't been the best for me
I know, you think, it's all in my head
I'm crazy, for wondering what it's all for
But everyday I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come and take me away
And say "we're going back to 2004"

Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate and I cannot complain
The nerves, the stress, the total mess that's all inside my brain
But growing up just makes me really, really, really scared
And I don't think that I'm prepared

I, I wish it was 2004
I wish my childhood was still in store
And I wish everything wasn't so complicated

Lately, things haven't been the best for me
I know, you think, that it's all in my head
And I must be crazy, for wondering what it's all for
But everyday I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come and take me away
And say "we're going back to 2000..."
Everyday I'm thinking of ways
For someone to come and take me away
And say "we're going back to 2004"
