CHILDHOOD
I know you never really forget the way you were made to feel
Even if you shut it out, they're gonna tell you what you remember isn't real
That your head's just in the clouds, ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhh you knowwwwww, ohhhhhh
If nobody understands, I promise it's okay
No two people will be brought up the same way
But sometimes it's so damn hard when our scars seem to shape who we are
We don't have to be the same, ohhhhh, tell me can you still relate
Do you know who you are, or are you ashamed
Darlin, you're not to blame
Do you remember '07 in the backseat of the car
On the way home from school, did you ever think you'd make it this far
(I know you don't) Are you okay when you revisit the places you used to go
The ones that kept you safe but took you far from home, ohhhhhh
Imagination was so wild back then, it could take you to every place you've never been
Chasing the moonlight as the car moved, we thought we were really livin
And maybe we really were, but when I try to go back in time, the moments just blur
Do you remember singing songs that were on the radio
We didn't have a clue, but we sang along like we did know
(Can you hear us?) And now we all look back and ask"Where did the time go"
Do you remember coming home and crying every day
For the differences you couldn't control, but got bullied for all the same
I swear they're still callin' my name out
We built castles out of dreams, but they crumbled in our hands
Trying to make sense of a world we couldn't understand
The games we played, the ones where we pretended we were free
Were the only times we felt like we could truly be
And now I wonder, did those moments ever really fade?
Or do they live inside us, in the choices that we've made
Oh, childhood's a ghost that haunts us every day
It lingers in the shadows of the things we didn't say
But darlin, don't you worry, we survived the stormy nights
And even though we're different now, the child in us survives
Do you remember the nights, the endless dreams we'd chase
The stars that felt so close, like they'd fall into our embrace?
Now the skies are different, but when I look up, I still see
The echoes of those days when we believed in everything
It's never too late can't you see
If nobody understands, I promise it's okay
No two people will be brought up the same way
But sometimes it's so damn hard when our scars seem to shape who we are
We don't have to be the same, ohhhhh, tell me can you still relate
Do you know who you are, or are you ashamed
Darlin, you're not to blame
Even if you shut it out, they're gonna tell you what you remember isn't real
That your head's just in the clouds, ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhh you knowwwwww, ohhhhhh
If nobody understands, I promise it's okay
No two people will be brought up the same way
But sometimes it's so damn hard when our scars seem to shape who we are
We don't have to be the same, ohhhhh, tell me can you still relate
Do you know who you are, or are you ashamed
Darlin, you're not to blame
