Time
We said we couldn't wait to grow up,
We didn't know what we meant.
We thought growing up meant
"Because I said so" would be ours to say
We thought growing up meant
Nothing would stand in our way
We didn't know what we meant.
We couldn't wait, we hoped time
would pass in the blink of an eye.
But now what we long for most
is that time back.
I said I couldn't wait to grow up,
but I didn't know what I meant.
I knew that I was wrong the moment
I got what I wished:
Time passing in the blink of an eye.
