Cheerios & Chocolate Milk

[Chorus]
Can I be honest with you?
Things they ain't how they used to be
I'm talkin' 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Thinkin' 'bout holding hands, standing still
Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh

[Verse 1]
Where did life go wrong?
I've been growing up for too long
I cling to the past but it's gone
And I gotta be moving it on
But I'm playing this game like a pawn
And I'm weak but I gotta be strong
And I haven't been righting my wrongs
But I know in my heart that I'm strong
Gotta have hope and freedom
And light-in-the-dark believing
It's laughin' when you should be grievin'
It's stayin' when you should be leavin'
It's seein' when things are deceivin'
It's all of the things that I'm feeling
It's breakin' the glassy ceiling, oh
I don't know but I been told
That staying young is getting pretty old
But I don't know
I don't know

[Chorus]
Can I be honest with you?
Things they ain't how they used to be
I'm talkin' 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Thinkin' 'bout holding hands, standing still
Cheerios and chocolate milk

[Verse 2]
I'm tossing and I'm turning
And late night I'm burning
And all the shit that I'm learning
Has got me concerned because what if I don't earn it
And what if I'm still hurting
And after all these years I still ain't deserving
If younger me could see me now
I wonder if I'd make him proud
I don't know if he'd recognize that world that I'm in
Where love and hate are intertwined and no one seems to win

[Chorus]
Can I be honest with you?
Things ain't how they used to be
I'm talkin' 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Thinkin' 'bout holding hands, standing still
Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh

[Bridge]
I don't know what the future holds
But honestly, the truth be told
I'm terrified of everything
But we'll make it soon
Soon

[Chorus]
Can I be honest with you?
Things they don't look to good to me
I'm talking 'bout always feeling unfulfilled
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Can we keep holding hands, standing still?
Cheerios and chocolate milk
