I miss dinner talks and walks around the block with mom, and

Maybe I should call my dad (hello?)

I wished that time passed like seasons in L.A.

When grass in the front yard was waiting for greener days

Will I always be the words I wrote when I was seventeen?

Will the world still be around when I turn sixty-three?

'Cause getting older's getting old

And I wish someone would've told me, me
