Can I be honest with you?
Things they ain't how they used to be
I'm talking 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Can we keep holding hands standing still?
Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh
Where did I go wrong
I've been growing up for too long
I cling to the past but it's gone
And I have gotta be moving it on
But I'm playing this game like a pawn
And I weak but I've gotta be strong
And I haven't been writing my wrongs
But I know in my heart that I'm strong
Gotta have hope, and freedom
And light-in-the-dark believing
It's laughing when you should be grieving
It's staying when you should be leaving
It's seeing when things are deceiving
It's all of the things that I'm feeling
It's breaking the glassy ceiling, oh
I don't know but I been told
That staying young is getting pretty old
But I don't know
I don't know
Can I be honest with you?
Things they ain't how they used to be
I'm talking 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Can we keep holding hands standing still?
Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh
I'm tossing and I'm turning
And late night I'm burning
And all the shit that I'm learning
Has got me concerned because
What if I don't earn it
And what if I'm still hurting
And all after all these years
I still ain't deserving
If younger me could see me now
I wonder if I'd make him proud
I don't know if he'd recognize the world that I'm in
Where love and hate are interwined and no one seems to win
Can I be honest with you?
Things they ain't how they used to be
I'm talking 'bout jungle gyms, faded quilts
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Can we keep holding hands standing still?
Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh
I don't know what the future holds
But honestly, the truth be told
I'm terrified of everything
But we'll make it soon
Soon...
Can I be honest with you?
Things they don't want to be good to me
I'm talking 'bout always feeling that unfulfilled
Cheerios and chocolate milk
Can I speak softly just to you?
I'm feeling blue
Can we keep holding hands standing still?
Cheerios and chocolate milk, oh
