Barefoot down the stairs
My feet are cold
I'm ten years old
My mom brushes my hair
In the yellow kitchen light
I had a rough night
There's monsters under my bed
The shadows on the wall keep moving
But my parents said
The night is only the day that's sleeping
Can I be ten forever?
I don't want to grow up
Can I be ten forever?
I wish time could stop
To climbing trees
In grass-stained jeans
Feeling safe and carefree
Can I be T E N forever?
Forever
Walk home in the cold
I'm eighteen now
I just moved out
I eat dinner alone
But I've lost my appetite
It's been a rough night
There's monsters in my head
I'm never good enough for them
Can I be ten forever?
I don't want to grow up
Can I be ten forever?
I wish time could stop
To climbing trees
In grass-stained jeans
Feeling safe and carefree
Can I be T E N forever?
Forever
When did I stop holding my dad's hand in public?
When did I start caring what others think?
When did I stop jumping straight into puddles?
Now I walk around them
And shield from the rain
Can I be ten forever?
I don't want to grow up
Can I be ten forever?
I wish time could stop
To climbing trees
In grass-stained jeans
Feeling safe and carefree
Can I be T E N forever?
Forever
Barefoot down the stairs
Her feet are cold
She's ten years old
I brush my daughter's hair
In the yellow kitchen light
She had a rough night
