Lyric

(Verse 1 )

After school, corner store, bag of snacks in my hand

Wave to the crew, yeah, you know that’s the plan

Keys in my pocket, clink-clank, can’t sit still

Sunlight flashin’ like a gold grill

Kick that door—what’s inside?

Ghost in the room or a thief gonna hide?

Maybe aliens crashin’ in the living room light

But family’s gone, house quiet all night

(Pre-Chorus – melodic)

Mom works late, she’s beat

I should help, keep it neat

But when that remote’s in my palm

Homework’s dead, game is on

(Chorus )

I can’t wait to grow!

Thought I’d be strong, thought I’d know!

Big world spins, pulling me in

But I just wanna be a kid again!

I just wanna—be a kid again!

(Verse 2 )

After a fight, head to the park

Pet stray cats ‘til they purr in the dark

Keychain full of junk I scored

Toss it high, catch it—never bored

Climbin’ up the fire escape

Ring and run, make my great escape

Hide behind poles, smell curry in the air

Mom’s comin’ home late, better show I care

(Pre-Chorus – melodic)

Start that rice, then I play

Gonna beat that boss today

In my kingdom, I can’t lose

Another life—yeah, I’ll choose

(Chorus )

I can’t wait to grow!

Thought I’d be strong, thought I’d know!

Big world spins, pulling me in

But I just wanna be a kid again!

I just wanna—be a kid again!

(Final Chorus )

I can’t wait to grow!

Thought I’d be strong, thought I’d know!

Big world spins, pulling me in

But I just wanna be a kid again!

Yeah—I just wanna—be a kid again!

(Outro – shout)

Forever young!

Forever loud!

Still—just—a—kid!
