I used to write words down
Sometimes I'd put them to music
And I'd get my guitar out
But here lately that's more like a distant illusion
When did I lose all the sparkly feelings
That came when I'd sit down
Cross-legged on the carpet under clothes hung in my closet
'Cause I can't find them now
Inside this grown up house
Where I no longer sleep with a light
I'm getting better at being on time
I don't always cry when I'm broken
I don't get so lost in the moment
So many things I've grown out of
But the more time that I lose
I find more things that I wish that I'd
Grow back into
I used to be honest
Didn't care much about what I'm wearing
And only the monsters
Under my bed were the ones that were scary
When did I lose all the sparkly feelings
That came when I'd jump down
From the oak tree in the backyard, yeah the falling was the best part
I can't find them now
Outside this grown up house
Where I no longer sleep with a light
I'm getting better at coloring in the lines
I don't always cry when I'm broken
But some days I just can't keep focused
So many things I've grown out of
But the more time that I lose
I find more things that I wish that I'd
Grow back into
Getting old has just taught me to want more
Of all of the stuff I'm too old for
For a life that is easy
Yeah that's the life that I'd choose
But how come it's the life that is hardest
To grow back into
