I Wanna Be This Age Forever

I am already missing what I never even had
Looked at it, held it too close to the head
On the index pointed, beckoning
Called too swiftly and slipped through the reckoning

What happens now? Am I supposed to be someone?
I wanna stay young, I wanna be this age forever

There went the light, it fell through my fingers
Finally saw everybody happily growing dimmer
Not a second to admire and I already wasted a lot wishing I was skinnier

How the hell do I get there how the hell do they do it
Twist sex appeal up with god and emotion
Making sounds that bring people to speeches
I can make some that keep lights on in houses, at least
I won’t ever ask for love because I’ve never even seen roses
