"A good childhood" lyrics

I wish that I could say I had a good childhood
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods
And I believe I even built myself a tree house
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out

I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
But I guess I got the gist of it
'Cause now and then I hear him in my head
And what he says is I should aim high
"'Cause 99 percent of people never really live before they"

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with my best friend

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with you

I wish I had another shot to grow up
But have you living next to me
That's probably how it's supposed to be

But then I chose some folks in Minnesota
Born into a quirky family
That tried their best to manage me

But I was always running from my own love
Or running from authorities
I really could've used your

Company
On my street
We'd sure
Be hard to beat

'I wish that I could say I had a good childhood
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods
And I believe I even built myself a tree house
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out

I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
But I guess I got the gist of it
'Cause now and then I hear him in my head
And what he says is I should aim high
"'Cause 99 percent of people never really live before they die"

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with my best friend

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with you

Was it heaven or hell
It gets harder to tell
But I guess I was living in both

Beauty breaking my heart
Being scared of the dark
Being scared to grow up
'Cause I would have to leave my mom

I just wish that I'd had you along

'I wish that I could say I had a good childhood
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods
And I believe I even built myself a tree house
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out

I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
But I guess I got the gist of it
'Cause now and then I hear him in my head
And what he says is I should aim high
"'Cause 99 percent of people never really live before they die"

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with my best friend

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with my best friend

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with my best friend

Wish I could do it all again
But meet you when I'm 10
'Be so much better with you
