proud of me

Last night, my mom sent me a photograph

Of my sister and me

From like 2003

And I cried cuz 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 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

I hope he’s proud of me

I hope he’s proud of me

I hope he’s proud of me
