"proud of me" lyrics

Last night
My mom sent me a photograph
Of my sister and me
From like 2003
And I cried 'cause little did we know what life
Would throw us at our feet
My sister and me

I wish that I could turn back time
To late July
Those summer nights
In Timmins
Now it's all so different
The leaves they fall the people change
The only thing that stays the same
Is I miss it
Oh God, I miss it

All I wanted was to grow up
But growing up has got the better half of me
All I wanted was to find love
But finding love has got me crying myself to sleep

Wish that I could tell myself at seventeen
That we'd still be here at 23
I've been thinking 'bout the kid I used to be
I hope he's proud of me

For leaving when I knew it wasn't healthy
For learning having one more glass doesn't make it go away
Sometimes you gotta feel sad to feel happy
And spending one more night with them
Doesn't mean they're gonna stay

All I wanted was to grow up
But growing up has got the better half of me
All I wanted was to find love
But finding love has got me crying myself to sleep

Wish that I could tell myself at seventeen
That we'd still be here at 23
I've been thinking 'bout the kid I used to be
I hope he's proud of me

I hope he's proud of me
I hope he's proud of me
I hope he's proud of me
I hope he's proud of me

I wish that I could turn back time
To late July
Those summer nights
In Timmins
Now it's all so different
The leaves they fall the people change
The only thing that stays the same is I miss it
Oh God, I miss it

All I wanted was to grow up
But growing up has got the better half of me
All I wanted was to find love
But finding love has got me crying myself to sleep

Wish that I could tell myself at seventeen
That we'd still be here at 23
I've been thinking 'bout the kid I used to be
I hope he's proud of me
