lyrics
I had a flashback to when we were kids
In the house we grew up in
Do you remember summers
Renting Star Wars on DVD?
Road trips on family vacation
Dad’s songs, fall asleep in the car
And I don’t know why, why it’s hitting me hard
But it’s hitting me so damn hard
I’ve been staring at the ceiling
I’ve been thinking too much, and my thoughts are too loud
I’m afraid of getting older
Holding on too tight, but I don’t wanna go under
Can you tuck me in like we’re kids again?
When the world was small and I wasn’t afraid to fall
I’ve been staring at the ceiling
A little too long
I, I was picturing all the afternoons
We spent in Chinatown
Your love language of
Knowing all of our favorite foods
Subway back home in the evening
Manhattan lights after dark
And I can’t help myself from feeling nostalgic
Can we live those days once more?
I’ve been staring at the ceiling
I’ve been thinking too much, and my thoughts are too loud
I’m afraid of getting older
Holding on too tight, but I don’t wanna go under (don’t wanna go)
Can you tuck me in like we’re kids again?
When the world was small and I wasn’t afraid to fall
I’ve been staring at the ceiling
A little too long
I wanna go to Chinatown like we did back then
I wanna see the world like I, like I did back then
Cause I’ve been staring at the ceiling
I’ve been thinking too much, and my thoughts are too loud
I’m afraid of getting older
Holding on too tight, but I don’t wanna go under
Can you tuck me in like we’re kids again?
When the world was small and I wasn’t afraid to fall
I’ve been staring at the ceiling
A little too long
I’ve been staring at the ceiling
A little too long

And the biggest shoutout to Laurie Vuong for always giving me valuable insight and opinions and dealing with me when I am indecisive (aka all the time).
