Mac Miller - When I Was Young lyrics

Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world
I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young
I'm glad I'm still young

Uh, look, yeah
As I drive around the city that I live in
Lookin' all around me
I remember bein' children
Just havin' fun, we was some wild ones
With a three-mile-long smile on
As a kid causin' mischief
Just monkey business
Stayin' up past midnight was such a privilege
I didn't have to worry 'bout shit
Fall and cut your knee, get the first aid kit
Had a crush on a girl, you wanna hold hands
Heard a slow jam, ask your girl to slow dance
Mom read me stories, thought I was Peter Pan
Pops did his thing, he taught me to be a man
Life went by fast
Now I'm 'bout to be eighteen
Lookin' in the mirror
Seein' what the world made me
And I'm satisfied, I think I'm doin' fine
Lookin' at the jungle gym I used to climb
I think

Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world
I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young
I'm glad I'm still young

Uh then high school started
I'm rememberin' that
Walkin' round the halls
No clue where I was at
With my backpack, pants sagged, half mask
Crackin' jokes just tryin' to
Make the class laugh i was and still am the
Kid that'll keep you smilin'
Little ladies man
Girls never was a challenge
Never on the honor roll
Too much chronic smoke
Am I in college? No, but to be honest though
I wouldn't have it any other way
I do it all the same if it was any other day
You gon' know when the time is good
'Cause ain't nothin' comin' close
To your childhood

Well, some years went by, time move fast
Tryin' to remember where you find me at
When I was young, when I was young
It's such a beautiful world
I wanna see the whole thing
Goin' places, not a single person knows me
Glad I'm still young
I'm glad I'm still young
