Me Again

My dad built a pirate ship,

in the back yard.

It stretched over the creek,

and past that we're adventuring.

Leaves fell in my hair,

men wouldn't stare,

or say that they know best.

It was nice,

so sublime,

until I lost it.

I wanna be a kid again,

rolling in the grass again,

falling on my ass again,

and getting back up.

I wanna climb a tree again,

dancing in the breeze again,

run into the sea again,

I wanna be me again.

I had a best friend,

she was my next-door neighbor,

we were dancing,

until she moved and we said,

see you later,

now its 5 years later and we haven't spoken since.

I wanna be a kid again,

rolling in the grass again,

falling on my ass again,

and getting back up.

I wanna climb a tree again,

dancing in the breeze again,

run into the sea again,

I wanna be me again.

How will I find her,

is she gone for good.

How can I trust it,

when I don't think I should.

Who is she now,

but god,

who am I now.

The only thought that sticks in my head,

right when I know I've done all I can,

and it just won't work.

I wanna be a kid again,

rolling in the grass again,

falling on my ass again,

and getting back up.

I wanna climb a tree again,

dancing in the breeze again,

run into the sea again,

I wanna be me again.
