[Verse 1]
I was in the garden
Thinking of the time when
The walls were different colors
Writing on the frame
Things are always changing
I'm still scared of the basement
My rooms all renovated
The dog is going gray
[Chorus]
And daylight, you slip into darkness
Too often, I woke in a body that wasn't mine
Can someone build me a rocket?
One that rewinds and can withstand the test of time
So I can be a kid again
If not for good, just for a minute
I'd tell my mother's mom, "hello"
And that I feel her when I play piano
[Verse 2]
I was is in the kitchen
Thе holidays are different
I usеd to fill my pockets
With quarters from the couch
People always hurting
We lost a cousin early
The past is like an old pal
I hardly recognize at all
[Chorus]
And daylight, you slip into darkness
Too often, I woke in a body that wasn't mine
Can someone build me a rocket?
One that rewinds and can withstand the test of time
So I can be a kid again
If not for good, just for a minute
I'd warn my brother the world gets cold
And to call me when he feels alone
[Outro/Voicemail]

"What a happy, happy new year
You must be out someplace still celebrating
Love you, guys
Hope this is a wonderful year
Bye-Bye."
