Rewind Me Please.

He said she said he doesn't do this.
I miss the days where I could just sit and listen to music
kissing the skies with dreams reached for with chocolate covered hands.
looking with clear, adolescent eyes and
watching bikes speed by, hissing and tossing up the leaves.
I miss the days when I believed without demand
and could leave behind the world you live in so easily.
Man...
Being a little kid again never really sounded to good to me until now.

I remember how daddy's shoulders used to
make me feel so tall
and when I would fall I'd call and he'd kiss it better.
Rain or shine, the weather was never something that kept me down
A frown that was only temporary
and I always forgot about it when my family was around.
but now our words where shoved away and they all left me for myself.
and today
we sit and communicate through our closed doors
hiding our feelings for each other
on dusty shelves behind our boards.

I remember when school was a place of learning
I remember how I felt
yearning to be smart and cool like the big kids
Instead I stand here now in this
hole
And now I wish I didn't miss so much of my younger childhood now.
Yeah I've got so much under my brow, but what's it worth?
spending the day playing modeling games
no one's ever going to win?
I would kill to find the rewind button so I could try this life again.
Man...
Being a little kid again never really sounded so good to me until now.
