Like A Kid Again

from Free by Jon Crocker

/

lyrics

Please excuse my fumbling hands--is that the way you’re supposed to do it?
No, no I never had the chance to learn. No, I never knew it.
And I still haven’t learned…

Please excuse my fleeing feet--they run at any hint of hurt.
I learned to turn and leave instead of fight for what I deserve.
And I still haven’t learned…
that it’s hard to change my heart the way I change my mind, I try,
but it doesn’t happen easily.
It’s plain to see--I’m an old dog trying tricks.
No, I’m not worth trying to fix.

Chorus:
So there I go, acting like I’m a kid again.
But who do I think I’m fooling?
I was never a kid.

Please excuse my muddled mind--I forget to forget about the future.
I’m always in front or behind--I forget to forget about the past.
And I still haven’t learned…
that it’s hard to change my heart the way I change my mind, I try,
but it doesn’t happen easily.
It’s plain to see--I’m an old dog trying tricks.
No, I’m not worth trying to fix.

Repeat Chorus

And I still haven’t learned to broach the subject tactfully.
No, I still haven’t learned to let bygones be what they will be.
No, I still haven’t learned how to shirk my responsibilities.
No, I still haven’t learned to speak my mind before I think.
No, I still haven’t learned to let anything invade my sleeve.
No, I still haven’t learned to not care if I lose some sleep.
Because I’d like to stay up late for all of the right reasons.

Repeat Chorus

Please excuse my guarded heart--you know I never asked to have it.
It’s probably not as hardened as I might think it is.
Let’s take it for a ride. Yeah,
it might get tenderized.
