'Cause I've Been Trying Way Too Long To Try And Be The Perfect Song

^goodnight moon-go radio

I sometimes remember being little.
Not caring, not knowing that soon enough, you're going to be scared of more than spiders and monsters under your bed.
Now it seems I'm scared of everything. But I guess that's how it is.
But what we as teenagers don't really realize, is that we are still so young.
We may be much older than we used to be and have a lot more to deal with, but we're not even close to really growing up.
There's time to figure out what we want, what we need and what we hope and dream for.
Sometimes I have trouble remembering this myself, but I try to as much as I can.
I know I for sure have thought that I shouldn't do certain things because I should be "mature" and "act my age".
But that's such a load of crap.
We have this time of our lives where we're discovering so much and are able to do so much without many consequences, so why don't we use it? Don't be stupid or anything, be safe, but fun is certainly in order.
Please do yourself a favour and don't try to grow up too fast.
We're kids, with time. So use it. And I'll try my best to not be hypocritical, because I know I have been.

Be who you are and say what you feel
Because those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind

Learn something new everyday, whether it be in school, in the real world, from your parents, about your friends, or maybe something new about yourself. Wonder about what is impossible and how you can make it possible. Dream about what makes you smile. Love what and who makes you happy. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Hope for everything. WIsh for the world.

lots of growing up to do (and time to do it),

I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind trying to get it back

Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
And everybody believed in you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent

There's some things you can't speak of
But tonight you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you would sing what you know now then

Wasn't it easier in your firefly catching days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep?
Before the monsters caught up to you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not who you've been

You're still an innocent

It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too

Mind change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never too late to
Be brand new

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights are still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent

It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent

Lost your balance on the tightrope
It's never too late to get back
