[Verse 1]
Painted skies in my cereal bowl
Mom said don't spill but I lost control
Sticky hands and scraped-up knees
Climbing too high just to feel the breeze
[Prechorus]
I chased shadows
They outran me
Fell in puddles
Thought they were seas
[Chorus]
Enjoy being a kid
They said
But they didn’t warn about the monsters in my head
Swings turn to chains
Laughter fades
No one tells you dreams decay
[Verse 2]
Teddy bears don’t fight your fights
Stars don’t fall on sleepless nights
The magic wand’s just plastic dust
The tooth fairy forgot my trust
[Prechorus]
I drew castles on the cracked cement
But the rain came
And the walls all bent
[Chorus]
Enjoy being a kid
They said
But they didn’t warn about the monsters in my head
Swings turn to chains
Laughter fades
No one tells you dreams decay
