Lyrics

[00:15.140] Once in a while I act like a child
[00:19.040] To feel like a kid again
[00:23.660] It feels like a prison
[00:25.870] In the body you‘re living in
[00:30.400] Because everyone?s watching
[00:32.530] Greedy to start talking
[00:34.590] I’m losing my innocence
[00:39.200] Wish I weren‘t a little girl
[00:41.890] Who felt the weight of the world
[00:46.280] It would be nice to start over again
[00:52.680] Before we burn out
[00:56.280] I’d give my breath
[00:59.920] Let‘s play pretend
[01:09.130] Remember the times
[01:11.200] We had soda for wine
[01:13.210] And got by on gratitude
[01:17.880] The worst they could do to you
[01:20.360] Was check your attitude
[01:24.260] Yeah, when fights were for fun
[01:26.660] We had water for guns
[01:28.530] And a place we could call our own
[01:33.690] How we lost hold of that
[01:35.830] I guess I’ll never know
[01:40.970] It would be nice to start over again
[01:46.750] Before we burn out
[01:50.460] I‘d give my breath
[01:53.890] Let’s play pretend
[01:58.690] And when it‘s the end
[02:02.420] Our lives will make sense
[02:05.900] And love, even
[02:08.470] We won’t have to play pretend
[02:26.400] It's not going to be long,
[02:28.620] before we're all gone,
[02:30.540] with nothing to show for them
[02:35.390] Stop taking lives,
[02:37.910] come on let's all grow up again
[02:42.610] It would be nice to start over again
[02:48.710] Before we burn out
[02:52.430] I’d give my breath
[02:55.910] Let‘s play pretend
[03:00.540] And when it‘s the end
[03:04.260] Our lives will make sense
[03:07.820] And love, even
[03:10.540] We won’t have to play pretend
