I Spoke As A Child - Todd Snider

作词：Todd Snider

作曲：Todd Snider

Everyone has days like I'm havin'

Holdin' on to anything that I can

To keep myself from anything but laughin'

Looking back as far as I can stand

Out my window winter is almost over

I can no more see the sun behind these clouds

Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today

Laughin' at the shape I'm in now

When I was a child I spoke as a child

But all I heard was how I should get ahead

Now growing up it ain't anything but all

This indecision with these debts and doubts and worries

Hanging over my head

When I was a child I spoke as a child

I wish I could remember what I said

I'd like to find that old time feelin'

Somewhere in between what I've become

Somewhere down the line it must have seemed appealing

So I suppose that it must work for some

But I wanna go back to going crazy

Believing every word that I was told

You know sometimes growing up I think I'm getting wiser

And then other times I think I'm getting old

When I was a child I spoke as a child

But all I heard was how I should get ahead

Now growing up it ain't anything but all this

Indecision with these debts and doubts and

Worries hangin' over my head

When I was a child I spoke as a child

I wish I could remember what I said

When I was a child I spoke as a child

God I wish I could remember what I said
