i want to go back
to when i was a small kid
not a care in the world
young, careless, and free

where there were no people
who judged me every day
who pretended to be nice
or laughed at my every mistake

to when there was no pressure
to grow up and get a job
and the most difficult thing
was climbing over that log

i didn't have to worry
if my makeup was right
if my hair was a mess
or my skirt to tight

i didn't slice my skin
nor refused to eat
and i don't regret
why my life had to begin

because when i was small
the most scary thing
was the slide that seemed so tall
and the shadows that danced in the dark

when i was a child
i dreamed to grow up
to be tall and smart
but that lasted for a short while

i want to go back
to when i was a kid
and rewrite my life
start my story again
