Lyrics
Woke up today, feel a bit empty
Expressing a sense of emptiness upon waking up.
Guess it's okay, it's only 7:20
Acceptance of the current time (7:20 AM).
I gotta get up, cause schools in an hour
Awareness of the need to get up for school.
Can't miss the bus, cause my mom would be sour
Fear of disappointing the mother by missing the bus.
Tomorrow's my birthday, I'm gonna be 10
Anticipation for turning 10 and celebrating with friends.
I hit double digits, can't wait to see my friends
Excitement for reaching double digits.
I can't wait until we're older and we can do cooler stuff
Desire for the future when they can do more exciting things.
But I'm good where I am and life isn't too rough
Contentment with the current stage in life.
Oh, I don't ever wanna leave
Reluctance to leave the present moment.
But I wish we were older
Expressing a wish to be older.
With my heart on my sleeves
Desire for emotional closeness with someone.
and her head on my shoulder
Yearning for a connection, possibly romantic.
While I wish I never age,
Conflicting feelings about aging.
I know I have to grow and change
Acknowledgment of the necessity to grow and change.
With more responsibilities,
Awareness of increasing responsibilities with age.
I just wish we were, I just wish we were
Reiteration of the desire to be older.
I just wish we were oh, oh, oh, older
Expressing the wish to be older.
Yeah, I just wish we were oh, oh, oh, older
Repeating the desire to be older.
Woke up today, feel a bit better
Feeling improved compared to earlier in the day.
I looked out the window to some beautiful weather
Appreciation for beautiful weather.
And I'm doing alright, I got a new girlfriend
Introduction of a new romantic relationship.
Took her to the movies and i hope that it never ends
Enjoyment of a date at the movies.
Cause I miss this, feeling happy
Nostalgia for a happy feeling.
Everything I say is sappy, but that's okay
Acknowledgment of expressing sentimental thoughts.
I'm growing and changing
Recognition of personal growth and change.
I'm 16 now, I got more fears that i'm facing
Highlighting the challenges faced at age 16.
Oh, I don't ever wanna leave
Reluctance to leave the current stage in life.
But I wish we were older
Reiterating the desire to be older.
With my heart on my sleeves
Desiring emotional closeness with someone.
and her head on my shoulder
Yearning for a connection, possibly romantic.
While I wish I never age,
Conflicting feelings about aging.
I know I have to grow and change
Acknowledgment of the necessity to grow and change.
With more responsibilities,
Awareness of increasing responsibilities with age.
I just wish we were, I just wish we were
Reiteration of the desire to be older.
I just wish we were
Repeating the wish to be older.
Woke up today, feel a bit tired
Expressing fatigue but maintaining inspiration.
I had to grow up but I'm still feeling inspired
Acknowledging the inevitability of growing up.
And I'm loving my life, the one that I live
Expressing love for the current life, including a spouse and children.
Loving my wife and my two kids but they're so ignorant and naïve,
Highlighting the innocence of the speaker's family.
And they know time keeps on flying but they wanna be oh, oh, older
Acknowledgment of the passage of time and the desire to be older.
