[Verse 1:]
I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think
[Pre-Chorus: 2x]
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
[Chorus: 2x]
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
[Verse 2:]
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from?
I'd make a candle out of it, if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one
It'd be to my brother, cause we have the same nose, same clothes,
Home grown, the stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree house homes
We all would take the latter
[Pre-Chorus: 2x]
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
[Chorus: 2x]
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
[Bridge: 2x]
Used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughing at our face
Singing "Wake up, you need to make money", yeah
[Chorus: 2x]
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
[Outro: Blurryface]
We used to play pretend, used to play pretend, funny
We used to play pretend, wake up you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up you need the money
Used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughing at our face
Saying "wake up, you need to make money", yeah
