[Verse 1]
Seven years old
Feet on the cold tile floor
Cartoons loud
Cereal spilling on the door
Plastic watch
Said I’m late but late for what
Barely tall
Still I’m dancing in my socks
[Chorus]
When I was seven years old
I thought the world was made of gold
Candy pockets
Dirty shoes
Every day a brand-new move
When I was seven years old
I spun around and never slowed
Laughing till the daylight froze
Seven-year groove
That seven-year groove (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Hand-me-down shirt
Big and bright
It swallowed me
Rain outside
Turned the hallway to a scene
Jump so high
Tried to touch the ceiling fan
Fell and cried
Then I laughed and jumped again
[Chorus]
When I was seven years old
I thought the world was made of gold
Candy pockets
Dirty shoes
Every day a brand-new move
When I was seven years old
I spun around and never slowed
Laughing till the daylight froze
Seven-year groove
That seven-year groove
[Bridge]
Didn’t know about tomorrow
Didn’t measure joy in time
Just a sticker on my jacket
And a song inside my mind (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
When I was seven years old
I thought the world was made of gold
Candy pockets
Dirty shoes
Every day a brand-new move
When I was seven years old
I spun around and never slowed
If I close my eyes
I go
Back to that seven-year groove
Seven-year groove
That seven-year groove
