I remember the dress up dresses and tiaras Wanting to be just like Repunzel Waiting for my fairytale life But in a few years I moved on Now I wanted to be like the scarlet witch Or maybe Hermione And I would have died to be a halfblood I would daydream forever But not only that but what I knew wasn’t great I had very neat little drawings I was greedy for attention but that’s gone too Oh and my god I wanted praise But I was much too shy and things started to feel… Impossible I didn’t like anyone really And I wasn’t able to put myself out there Even though I wanted to be friends with those girls I knew it wasn’t going to happen I wanted their makeup and hair I wanted to be them Of course I wouldn’t admit that Then one year everything changed Because now I was in choir Oh how I loved singing and having fun Though I missed my old friends it was ok Because I wanted a solo I wanted to prove myself So I reached for that And one day I grabbed it I had all that younger me could have ever wished for But now I want what she had Simplicity Joy Not knowing the truth about Santa and the tooth fairy And I want to have that bliss of the youngest years Now seeing those little kids I see myself And it’s bittersweet How I feel I know those kids won’t know my life But I know theirs Because it’s so similar Between all kids They know themselves And I want them to stay like that forever But I’ll never go back Because it is impossible Now I only have nostalgia And a few things stuck in my mind “Toto I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
