Simpler Things

Please hang up and try again

(Kids cheering)

All of my life, I was lied to

Life is full of discoveries

But some things, I wish I never knew

I wanna be a child

And know nothing at all

And not decide what's right or wrong

Just roam the world until the lights come on

Come on

Comptemplate my life as I drift along the shore

Draw my friends, erase the world

The life I live will be a storyboard

Paper planes and plastic trains

Balloons in the sky, when did it all change?

When did it all change?

There's pain behind my eyes

My eyes are open wide

I know the truth, I can't pretend

I can never be a kid again

There's pain behind my eyes

The lies are open wide

I know the truth, I can't pretend

I can never be a kid again

Disappear into the past

Before it all collapsed
