"Dance Again" lyrics

"Dance Again"

Mom wants me to get a life policy
To save money for when I'm old
For when I can't hold a guitar
And my voice is shaky and cold

Mom wants me to get a Roth IRA
For when she can't take care of me
When she forgets my name
And I become someone strange

I wanna be 18 again, and I'm only 22
I wanna have my first heartbreak
And write my first love song about you

I wanna be 6 again, before all the therapists
Without a name for the feeling in my gut that nobody likes when I speak

I wanna be 15 again, everyone was alive
And I had never even kissed a man
I was good 'cause I tried

I wanna be 21 again, I lived next to you
Tolerance on the ceiling, and I danced, everyone in the club was a friend

I'm still not sure people like when I speak
I don't feel that I'm that interesting

So I don't speak at all
The less you climb, the less you fall
But I wanna dance again
I wish I was loud again

I think all my words are gone
What do friends talk about
Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
