Dream Like a Kid

There was a time I'd believed
That one day I'd grow up and become a king
I was raising up castles in the dirt
That my parents bought to start a flowerbed

There was a time I'd believed
I'd grow into the shirts that I wore to my knees
I was flexing my muscles in the mirror
When I should've been brushing my teeth

We may never become who we thought we would be
But hope we never outgrow our desire to

Dream like a kid
Leap like I did back then
Back when I was younger I would

Dream like a kid
Leap like I did back then
I want to dream like a kid again

When I was young I used to know
Which hands to push away and which hands to hold close
In the days before I cared what people thought of me
Back before I swore I knew it all

And now I don't know which way to go
I don't know which doors to open up and which doors to close
And I still haven't filled out my clothes

We may never become who we thought we would be
But I hope we never outgrow our desire to

Dream like a kid
Believe like I did back then
Back when I was younger I would

Dream like a kid
Believe like I did back then
I wanna dream like a kid again

Ooh
Ooh

Because we grow up and all that we
Wish for has changed
And when it shows up we wish things had just
Stayed the same

I hope I never wake up
I hope I never wake up
If it means I forget how to

Dream like a kid
Believe like I did back then
Back when I was younger I would

Play with my friends
Like this life was never ever going to end
I want to dream like a kid
I want to think like a kid
I want to feel like a kid again
