Lyrics

[00:21.630] I was wayward child
[00:24.200] With the weight of the world
[00:26.689] That I held deep inside
[00:32.0] Life was a winding road
[00:33.480] And I learned many things
[00:35.760] Little ones shouldn’t know
[00:38.420] But I closed my eyes
[00:42.310] Steadied my feet on the ground
[00:45.500] Raised my head to the sky
[00:47.660] And though time’s rolled by
[00:52.610] Still feel like that child
[00:54.230] As I look at the monn
[00:57.480] Maybe I grew up
[00:59.360] A little too soon
[01:21.710] Funny how one can learn
[01:24.230] To grow numb to the madness
[01:26.970] And block it away
[01:30.990] I left the worst unsaid
[01:33.460] Let it all dissipate
[01:35.810] And I try to forget
[01:38.639] But I closed my eyes
[01:42.320] Steadied my feet on the ground
[01:45.100] Raised my head to the sky
[01:47.690] And though time’s rolled by
[01:52.590] Still feel like that child
[01:54.240] As I look at the monn
[01:57.200] Maybe I grew up
[01:59.350] A little too soon
[02:21.809] Nearing the edge
[02:24.900] Obvious I almost
[02:27.428] Fell right over A part of me
[02:33.359] Will never be quite able
[02:36.489] To feel stable
[02:39.899] That woman-child falling inside
[02:44.399] Was on the verge of fading
[02:49.649] Thankfully I
[02:51.829] Woke up in time
[02:58.799] Guardian angel I
[03:01.319] Sail away on an ocean
[03:03.869] With you by my side
[03:07.989] Orange clouds roll by
[03:10.529] They burn into your image
[03:12.879] And you’re still alive
[03:16.690] But I closed my eyes
[03:19.759] Steadied my feet on the ground
[03:22.659] Raise my head to the sky
[03:25.219] And though time’s rolls by
[03:30.190] Still feel like that child
[03:31.709] As I look at the monn
[03:34.889] Maybe I grew up
[03:36.599] A little too soon
