Like A Child

When did running wild and free
Turn into nights where I can't sleep?
I wonder, I wonder
When did playing hide and seek
Become more than a game to me?
I wonder, oh I wonder

The walls that I'm living in
I built 'em up brick by brick
Is there a chance that I can start again?

Take me back to the place where I was like a child
Won't you take me back to the place where I was like a child
Show me the freedom in the foolishness
I'm learning that courage isn't common sense
Won't you take me back to the place where I was like a child

I didn't lose it all at once
This death was by a thousand cuts
I feel it
Oh I feel it

Why was I in a rush
What's so great about growing up
If I gain the world and lose all of the good stuff

Take me back to the place where I was like a child
Won't you take me back to the place where I was like a child
Show me the freedom in the foolishness
I'm learning that courage isn't common sense
Won't you take me back to the place where I was like a child

Wide eyes, big faith
Like the old days
Soft heart, clean slate
Like the old days
Just like the old days

No fear, no shame
Like the old days
No guilt, just grace
Like the old days
Just like the old days

Take me back to the place where I was like a child
Won't you take me back to the place where I was like a child
Show me the freedom in the foolishness
I'm learning that courage isn't common sense
Won't you take me back to the place where I was like a child

Just like the old days
Just like the old days
