When I was five
I might have been jealous of you
But it wouldn't've stopped me
From being true
And if I wanted to do
What you do
Then without a thought
I would've been doing it too
Something happened along the way
Fear came and settled down to stay
If I could get back to
That feeling when I was younger
There would be pretty barrettes
Watching sunsets by the lakeside
A box of trinkets
A case of cassettes by my bedside
If I could only do that I'd say
Then I wouldn't've let anyone get in my way
And if I were to get excited over you
Then without a thought
I would've been showing you
Something happened along the way
Fear came and settled down to stay
If I could get back to
That feeling when I was younger
There would be pretty barrettes
Watching sunsets by the lakeside
A box of trinkets
A case of cassettes by my bedside
A dripping popsicle
Riding my bicycle
Down the newly paved street
Doin dance steps to michael
Listening for a cicada cycle
In the summer heat
