I, I wish it was 2004 I wish my favorite bands were still on tour And I wish everything wasn't so complicated And I, I wish that I was still as tall As the markings on the kitchen wall Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created Lately, things haven't been the best for me I know, you think, it's all in my head I'm crazy, for wondering what it's all for But everyday I'm thinking of ways For someone to come and take me away And say "we're going back to 2004" I, I never had it all quite figured out I never really learned what growing up was all about And I still don't know And there are so many things that I wish I could say I've done They say that time flies when you're having fun Does time only fly when you're young? Lately, things haven't been the best for me I know, you think, it's all in my head I'm crazy, for wondering what it's all for But everyday I'm thinking of ways For someone to come and take me away And say "we're going back to 2004" Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate and I cannot complain The nerves, the stress, the total mess that's all inside my brain But growing up just makes me really, really, really scared And I don't think that I'm prepared I, I wish it was 2004 I wish my childhood was still in store And I wish everything wasn't so complicated Lately, things haven't been the best for me I know, you think, that it's all in my head And I must be crazy, for wondering what it's all for But everyday I'm thinking of ways For someone to come and take me away And say "we're going back to 2000..." Everyday I'm thinking of ways For someone to come and take me away And say "we're going back to 2004"
