Great Big World, A - Younger Lyrics






I wish I was younger
The fat kid with the big blue eyes full of wonder
No shame, no fame, no worries, the king of wiffle ball (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Without a care at all
I wish I was younger
Keeping track of the lightning strikes and the thunder
Barely thirteen, no hurry, my feet over the wall (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
It doesn't matter if I fall

I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger
Barbies and fashion shows with my brother
So clear, no fear, no bullies, I didn't even know (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Where did all that magic go?
I remember third grade, shades, new rollerblades
4 foot 2, feeling 10 foot 8
Classic Mario
I remember charades, your braids, my first date
Working at the pool, barely ever getting paid
Heh
Do you remember those days?

I wish I was younger
Getting high with my friends outside in the summer!
Never cool, never had a lot of money, but damn we had it all (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
We had it all!

I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger

I wish I was younger
Butterflies in my chest when I asked for your number
You smiled and said, "You're funny"
Two words and I was gone (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
You wrote it on my arm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
I swear we set off the alarm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

Do you remember making out in the stands?
Showin' up late and getting kicked out of band
Poor Mr. Kafer never could under understand
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
Do you remember riding home in the rain?
That Sunday morning playing songs about Jane?
And from that moment I was never the same
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger

Great Big World, A Younger Comments
  1. J.... ....

    Deseo ser joven
    El niño gordo, de ojos azules llenos de maravilla
    Sin vergüenza, sin fama, sin preocupaciones
    El rey del Wiffle Ball
    (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    Totalmente descuidado
    Deseo ser joven
    Hacer seguimiento de rayos y truenos

    Apenas trece, sin prisas, mis pies sobre la pared

    (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    No importa si me caigo

    Deseo ser joven
    Deseo ser joven

    Deseo ser joven
    Barbies y desfiles de moda con mi hermano
    Tan claro, sin miedo, sin bullies, ni lo sabía
    (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    ¿A donde se fue la magia?

    Recuerdo el tercer grado, sombras, nuevos patines

    Cuatro pies dos, sintiendo diez pies ocho (?)
    Mario clásico
    Recuerdo las charadas, tu llave, mi primera cita
    Trabajando en el billar, casi nunca cobraba
    ¿Tú recuerdas esos días?
    Deseo ser joven
    Poniendo en alto con mis amigos, afuera en el verano
    Nunca cool, Nunca con mucho dinero
    Pero ¡Joder! Lo teníamos todo
    (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    Lo teníamos todo

    Deseo ser joven
    Deseo ser joven
    Deseo ser joven

    Deseo ser joven
    Mariposas en mi pecho cuando pregunté por tu número
    Tú sonreiste y dijiste: "Eres divertido"
    Dos palabras y me fui (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    Lo escribiste en mi brazo (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    Lo juro, activamos la alarma (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

    ¿Tu recuerdas que nos besamos en las gradas?
    ¿Llegaste tarde y te hechan de las bandas?
    Pobre señorita Kate ¿Nunca la entendimos?
    Sólo llevame a donde estaba cuando era joven
    ¿Recuerdas correr a casa bajo la lluvia?
    ¿Ese domingo en la mañana tocando canciones sobre Jane?
    Y desde ese momento nunca fui el mismo
    Sólo llevame a donde estaba cuando era joven
    Sólo llevame a donde estaba cuando era joven
    Sólo llevame a donde estaba cuando era joven

    I wish i could live my life again with only one exception: knowing that time passes very fast and i must LIVE and FEEL every moment.

  3. S.... X....

    I'm 23, just graduated college this year, and the real world is hitting me in the face like a truck. It doesn't help that my dad and grandfather died shortly after starting college. But you know what? You can never discount the possibility of a wonderful future, no matter how good the past may have been to you.

  4. Y.... A....

    Why does this have so little views

  5. H.... ....

    Shut the fuck up you complaining brats. You guys are rich and famous. And you keep complaining how you wish you weren’t a bunch old gicks

  6. N.... P....

    This is an amazingly well written and produced song, it’s a shame I only came across it hearing it over the loud speakers at Pleasure Pier in Galveston.

  7. A.... ....

    I made an 8D for this song-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4n7c9NZwmo

  8. R.... ....

    *Gettin high outside with my friends in the summer*
    Holy shit the entirety of my teenage years summed up in one sentence

  9. R.... ....

    This doesnt have a million views yet? Jesus people have terrible taste in music. Incredibly underrated song especially if you're a 90s baby

  10. A.... M....

    I’m 31 now doing adult things and everything that he says in this song feel like they were ripped out of scenes right out of my childhood! 😊

  11. J.... V....
