Lyrics When I Was Ten - George Makridis

I feel like something's missing
The better days I'm reminiscing of
Before things got real
Before I took the wheel
Wanna go back for sure
To time more pure
When I had no fear
And things seemed more clear
When nothing ever seemed to matter
Way before I ever had her

Back when
Times didn't seem so hard
When I could
Run through the yard, carefree
Do all things we weren't allowed to
And then pretend that we had no clue
I wanna see my grandma's smile
She was the best by a mile
I want my dad to know
Just how great a path he showed
Yeah things were really great then
I sure do miss when I was ten

I wish I could go back to feeling ageless
I wish I could go back to being shameless
Back when I thought I had the answers
Before I ever heard of cancer
When things were way less material
We'd just debate about cereal
Before I knew what a text was
Back when we'd play outside just because
Yeah that's when

Times didn't seem so hard
When I could run through the yard, carefree
Do all the things we weren't allowed to
And then pretend that we had no clue
I miss my Grandma's smile
She was the best by a mile
And I hope dad you know
Just what a great path you've showed
Yeah things were really great then
I sure do miss when I was 10
