to be a kid again

Scooters racing down the block Drawing with pastel-colored chalk Scolded by my parents for playing too rough Next thing you know, it's my first day at a job Now that I'm old I wish I was told You may not see, you'd give anything To be a kid again Yearning to turn eighteen Hoping I'm there faster than it seems An adolescent girl, embarrassed by her mom I miss her more now that I'm gone Make time slow down 'Cause looking back now I see that I'd really give anything To be a kid again Scrapes on my knees, wind blowing through my hair Hey, can you play? So innocently unaware Sing happy birthday, can taste it, I'm almost there Oh, to be a kid again (Cah, Carrie, Carrie, Carrie. Carrie Bug, Carrie Bug, Carrie Bug!) (Say"Bye bye!" Carolyn. Say"Bye bye!") (Bye bye Carobyn!)
