"Old Enough" lyrics

"Old Enough"

I used to think I was saving my mom
When I would step over cracks on the sidewalk
I used to think there was a Heaven for dogs
I thought I'd meet mine in the clouds and we'd fly off
Thought I could buy the whole world with a dollar
Thought there were castles and kings underwater

That childlike innocence
Wish I still had a little bit

Now I'm old enough to drink
I'm old enough to drive
Old enough to know I can't buy my mom and dad any more time
I'm too self-aware to dream
Like I did when I was nine, afraid of nothing
Now I kinda wish I wasn't
Old enough

I used to think I'd grow old with my friends
But I haven't seen them since we were all 18
I miss our tired eyes at 7:00 a.m.
I wish that I could go back and be naive
When I didn't sit in the house, feeling anxious
When I didn't look in the mirror and feel hatred

I lost all my innocence
Wish I still had a little bit

Now I'm old enough to drink
I'm old enough to drive
Old enough to know I can't buy my mom and dad any more time
I'm too self-aware to dream
Like I did when I was nine, afraid of nothing
Now I kinda wish I wasn't
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough
Old enough

Must be this high to ride this ride
But once you're on, then you're on for life
Must be this high to ride this ride
But once you're on, then you're on for life
Must be this high to ride this ride
But once you're on, then you're on for life
Must be this high to ride this ride
But once you're on, then you're on for life

Now I'm old enough to drink
I'm old enough to drive
Old enough to know I can't buy my mom and dad any more time
I'm too self-aware to dream
Like I did when I was nine, afraid of nothing
Now I kinda wish I wasn't
Old enough

Must be this high to ride this ride
Old enough
But once you're on, then you're on for life
Old enough
Must be this high to ride this ride
Old enough
But once you're on, then you're on for life
Must be this high to ride this ride
But once you're on, then you're on for life
Must be this high to ride this ride
But once you're on, then you're on for life
