lyrics
many times ive wished that i could be a bird
but now that ive got you
i dont want to fly alone
so unless we both get wings
im stayin home
cause it aint what we thought when we thought we knew it all
i had to take a few steps back to see the writing on the wall
and i hate to say i told you so cause smug it would be
but Ha Ha Ha younger me you were so wrong
to run like the cheatah would surely be grand
but if you were a tortoise id rather be sand
and if i was a mermaid id be lovely to see
but if you were a rock a barnacle id be
cause it aint what we thought when we thought we knew it all
i had to take a few steps back to see the writing on the wall
and i hate to say i told you so cause smug it would be
but Ha Ha Ha younger me you were so wrong
many times ive wished that i could be a bird
but now that ive got you
i dont want to fly alone
so unless we both get wings
im stayin home
cause it aint what we thought when we thought we knew it all
i had to take a few steps back to see the writing on the wall
and i hate to say i told you so cause smug it would be
but Ha Ha Ha younger me you were so wrong
