When I was six, I really wanted a pogo stick
So I said that I did and I begged to my mom and dad
They knew that I was so full of it
Still, they bought me the toy, said enjoy, which I did, like once or twice
But then it went in a cabinet
Should've wished it good riddance
It's been in there since I was six
Then I turned eight
And someone passed me a soccer ball
Then I flinched and I ducked, now I know that I suck at sports
But you know I don't care at all
'Cause when music was playing
I knew it said something to me
What it is was I just can't recall
But whatever it is, guess I did it, I hope you agree
Then I turned ten
And I asked for a baby grand
It was too damn expensive, so I got this keyboard instead
Another place I could put my hands
And my head and my mind when I need to unwind from my life
'Cause being twelve was so stressful, man
I did theater and music, was labelled a loser and gay
I never let it get to my head
'Cause now I'm seventeen and I'm feeling like nothing has changed
Yet I'm somewhat okay with that
'Cause so much has been happening
Distracting the future ahead
'Cause who knows what lies in it
When I'm eighteen, I'll know if I made it or if I should go
And what if I'm not that good at it?
What if nothing has happened and all of it's just in my head?
And when I'm twenty
Hopefully I'll be famous by then
Or at least have some fans, you can ask how I am
And I can proudly say that this is the life I picked
'Cause those dreams never faded
They've been with me since I was six
