[Verse 1]
You played in the sun till the shadows grew long
Skinned your knees but kept running strong
Built castles from sand just to watch them fall
Didn’t care
You’d rebuild them all
[Prechorus]
But now the clock won’t stop
It ticks so loud
The mirror shows a face you don’t know now
[Chorus]
Enjoy being a kid while you can
Hold tight to your dreams like a rubber band
Before the world gets heavy
Before it feels planned
Enjoy being a kid while you can
[Verse 2]
The stars used to whisper your name in the dark
The swings flew so high you could touch the sparks
Now the sky feels distant
A stranger’s art
And the magic’s slipping
Piece by part
[Prechorus]
But the night still hums
It’s not too late
Catch the fireflies before they escape
[Chorus]
Enjoy being a kid while you can
Hold tight to your dreams like a rubber band
Before the world gets heavy
Before it feels planned
Enjoy being a kid while you can
