"TIME! WHERE DID YOU GO?"

Lollipop and chocolate candy stuck in my teeth
dancing and the skipping rope keep me on my feet
cycle races down empty roads
falling in gutters and dirtying nice clothes.

Grow up grow up,leave those childish things behind
its time to grow the spirit,soul and mind
grow up grow,tomorrow's another day
you know your adult is here to stay.

Stars still twinkle,water fights are fun
my heart still soars in the warm summer sun
i still want to play house and drink pretend tea
and maybe prince charming will marry me.

Hearty laugh and desperate tears come and go
as do clothes,shoes and tv shows
miracles and thunderstorm do fascinate
its a perpetual childhood state.

Feeling all alone and holding hands
falling down and waking up
from a dream gone bad
on a cloudy day
your adult is here to stay.
