[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Chalk skies and hopscotch lines,
Laughter spun in lemonade sunshine.
Tiny hands held firefly dreams,
Life was sweeter in those faded jeans.
[Chorus]
Oh, the years turned pages quick,
Daisies wilted into twisted sticks.
Every step I took, the shadows grew,
Childhood’s gold turned midnight blue.
[Verse 2]
Thirteen brought a waltz with doubt,
Mascara tears, the world flipped inside-out.
Maps I drew led nowhere true,
Lost my compass chasing "who are you?"
[Chorus]
Oh, the years turned pages quick,
Daisies wilted into twisted sticks.
Now I’m twenty with a heart half-torn,
Wishing I could warn that girl of every storm.
[Bridge]
Barbie dolls to broken vows,
Silent screams behind a***t vows.
The mirror shows a stranger’s eyes—
A lifetime passed in goodbyes.
[Outro]
[Chorus]
Oh, the years turned pages quick,
Daisies wilted into twisted sticks.
I’d trade these thorns for one more rhyme,
To dance in chalk, one last time.
[Outro]
