somewhere between then and now
my small world became a big one
somehow my pink walls turned white
now school is not so much fun
large groups of friends are now a small circle
trust turned into guards being kept up
all my emotions are now locked in a journal
making plans, then don't wanna show up
and isn't it funny? isn't it strange?
how fast time flies, how quickly the seasons change
how fast you write each chapter, each page
how different you are, with a different age
heights and spiders should be your only fears
the only tears should be the happy tears
so much changes after so many years
once upon a time I played with Barbie and Ken
the games in my life now are no good
and here I am changing my hair color again
even though I swore I never would
and how do I tell that little girl
that her best friends are now strangers
they don't even say hi anymore
the ones she trusted the most became traitors
and isn't it funny? isn't it strange?
how quickly people can change
from strangers to friends, just to be strangers again
how is now so different from what was then?
and I'm not quite sure how the wish to grow up fast
turned into a wish to go back in past,
to enjoy every moment while it lasts
I used to be so impatient for my age to reach two digits,
I counted the days, I counted the minutes
I was ready for the world to be serious
now I want to go back to the days with all the silliness
and it's kinda funny, it's kinda strange
how day by day nothing and no one really change
but when you look back after a while
you suddenly realize that you're no longer nine
somewhere between then and now, I laughed, cried, made friends, screwed up
somewhere between then and now I grew up
:)
