Mom wants me to get a life policy
Save money for when I'm old
For when I can't hold a guitar
And my voice is shaky and cold
Mom wants me to get her off IRA
For when she can't take care of me
When she forgets my name
And I become someone strange
I wanna be eighteen again
And I'm only twenty-two
I wanna have my first heartbreak and write
My first love song about you
I wanna be six again
Before all the therapists
Without a name for the feeling in my gut
That nobody likes when I speak
I wanna be fifteen again
Everyone was alive
And I had never even kissed a man
I was good 'cause I tried
I wanna be twenty-one again
I'd live next to you
Tolerance on the ceiling and I danced
Everyone in the club was a friend
I'm still not sure people like when I speak
I don't feel that I'm that interesting
So I don't speak at all
The less you climb, the less you fall
But I wanna dance again
I wish I was alone again
I think all my words are gone
What our friends talk about
Hmm, hmm
