That time.

Remember that time,
When you just wanted to grow up to be a big girl?
When you didn't know anything about this big scary world.

Remember that time,
When all you wanted was an 'A' grade?
When you didn't know that it was the ditzy girls who had it made.

I want to go back to that time,
That time that has slipped away.
I want to go back to that time when it was okay to make a mistake.
I want to go back to that time,
That time when I didn't know half of what I know now,
Because half of what I know now is

That people break hearts and people aren't nice,
And you've got to learn how to bitch back.
Now I know that you've got to watch your back,
And you've always got to be ready for a surprise attack.
Now I know that there's nobody I can trust,
I want to go back to that time,
When I didn't need to know.

Remember that time,
When love was getting hugs from mum?
When you didn't know that there are these other things called boys.

Remember that time,
When all you dreamed of in the world was chocolate cake?
When you would have laughed yourself silly if someone said something like 'heartbreak'.

I want to go back to that time,
That time that has slipped away.
I want to go back to that time when it was okay to make a mistake.
I want to go back to that time,
That time when I didn't know half of what I know now,
Because half of what I know now is

That people break hearts and people aren't nice,
And you've got to learn how to bitch back.
Now I know that you've got to watch your back,
And you've always got to be ready for a surprise attack.
Now I know that there's nobody I can trust,
I want to go back to that time,
When I didn't need to know.

I want to go back to that time,
When I could be comforted by an 'it's gonna be okay'.
I would go back to that time,
If I had it my way.
I don't know why I tried to rush out of that,
Because now I'm trying to force myself back in.
But that's life, I guess,
You don't know until you lose,
Exactly what you win.
