Once in a while
I act like a child
To feel like a kid again
It gets like a prison in
The body I'm living in
Cause everyones watching
Quick to start talking
I'm losing my innocence
Wish I were a little girl
Without the weight of the world
It would be nice
To start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
Lets play pretend
Remember the time
We had soda for wine
And got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you
Was check your attitude
Yeah, when fights were for fun
We had water in guns
And a place we could call our own
How we lost hold of home
I guess I'll never know
It would be nice
To start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
Lets play pretend
And when its the end
Our lives will make sense
We'll love, we'll bend
Lets play pretend
, , , x2
Its not gonna be long
Before we're all gone
With nothing to show for them
Stop taking lives, come on
Let's all grow up again
It would be nice
To start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
Lets play pretend
And when its the end
Our lives will make sense
We'll love, we'll bend
Lets play pretend
