Growing up seemed pretty easy
When my mother told me magic protected me
That I didn't need to worry
But my imagination led to complications and I couldn't sleep at night

It's the things you believe and the things that you've been shown
And the things you know to say you knew because nobody knows any more
And when you walk a while by the water how you see more of the world
And how it moves and how it curves

Living right now has been easy
But my obligations will find it hard to hear

I don't know how I'll get things do today
All I wanna do is go outside and play

So I stopped here in the city
Trying to find a million reasons to leave
I found my friends and my fortunes
Came to me to stay when they could play around my world

It's the things they conceive and the people they have known
And the things they cry that make you cringe and bolt your ears to the floor
And when they start to work they'll start to see a whole new way
To be numb from boredom in this world

Twenty four hours will pass
And they'll have enough and start to sing a soft refrain to the door

I don't know how I'll get things do today
All I wanna do is go outside and play
