Todd Snider I Spoke As A Child
Everyone has days
Like I'm having
Holding onto to anything that I can
To keep myself
From anything but laughing
Looking back as far as I can stand
Out my window, winter is almost over.
I can almost see the sun behind the clouds
Looking back on where I was one year ago today,
laughing at the shape I'm in now.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child.
But all I heard was how I should get ahead.
Now growing up, it ain't anything but all this
indecision
With these debts and doubts and worries
Hanging over my head.
When I was a child,
I spoke as a child.
I wish I could remember what I said.
I'd like to find that old-time feeling
Somewhere in between what I've become
Somewhere down the line, it must have seemed appealing,
So I suppose that it must work for some.
But I wanna go back to going crazy,
Believing every word that I was told.
You know, sometimes, growing up, I think I'm getting
wiser,
And then other times, I think I'm getting old.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child.
But all I heard was how I should get ahead.
Now growing up, it ain't anything but all this
indecision
With these debts and doubts and worries
Hanging over my head.
When I was a child,
I spoke as a child.
I wish I could remember what I said.
When I was a child,
I spoke as a child.
God, I wish I could remember what I said.
