Wishing I Was A Kid Again

Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Going to school, better look my best.
I'm at school, gotta put a smile on my face,
It's first period, and I'm already too tired to keep my eyes open.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.
It's lunch time, but I'm too stressed about my test next period that I can't eat.
Finally done with that test, now it's time to go home and eat.
Well now I have work, grab something quick, can't be late.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Time for my 4 hour shift, better ignore my stomach.
work work work, no time for play.
Get home feeling drained with too much homework to do.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.. only to do it again the next day.

I WANT TO KEEP SLEEPING.
Take me back to when I never cared what I looked like at school.
Take me back to when I would cry at school cause my crayon broke.
Take me back to when there used to be nap time.

I NEVER WANT TO WAKE UP.
Take me back to when the only true test I had was coloring in the lines with my crayons.
Take me back to when the hardest work I ever did was play at recess.
Take me back to when I used to have snack time.

IN A DREAM-LIKE STATE.
Take me back to when the only work I had was making sure I ate my vegetables.
Take me back to when I didn't know what work was and only knew how to play.
Take me back to when I was a kid, away from all the stress of the world.
And if you can't take me back then please hide me forever, or at least until I'm ready.
