[Verse]
Candy on the pavement melted in the sun
Chasing every rainbow till the colors run
Hopscotch dreams they fade like chalk
Who knew the clock would talk tick-tock tick-tock
[Prechorus]
Streetlights flicker and the shadows grow
How’d the days get fast but the nights so slow
[Chorus]
You’re only a kid till the spark runs dry
A firework fading in the velvet sky
Enjoy it while you’re golden while you’re wild and free
Cuz adulthood's creeping like a ghost on me
[Verse 2]
Worn-out sneakers kicking at the dirt
Tears on a birthday cake yeah they kinda hurt
Trading toy crowns for a heavy throne
Now I play grown-up but I’m still alone
[Prechorus]
The carousel spins but the horses stall
How’d the dreams get small while the world got tall
[Chorus]
You’re only a kid till the spark runs dry
A firework fading in the velvet sky
Enjoy it while you’re golden while you’re wild and free
Cuz adulthood's creeping like a ghost on me
