Verse 1
When i was little i said i’d never write a sad song
I told my mother that i only like the happy ones
But when you’re six you don’t see all the sad things
You think the only time to be sad is when you drop your ice cream
Pre chorus
And i didn’t know
About ebb and flow
All i knew was that i wanted to go
Chorus
To the beach and to the trees
And feel the breeze try not to sneeze
From smelling all the flowers
Sunny days and golden hours
But now i feel the sand and smell the pines
I take your hand and lose track of time
Now everything is harder
Than it was when i was younger
Verse 2
When i was little i thought the world was so big
And nothing excited me more than what i could be in it
Cause when you’re six being a princess is reality
You go from being the star of your tee ball team to struggling in geometry
College apps were a myth and the only thing that was scary was swim lessons
All you watched was cinderella but your fairy godmother isn’t gonna get you out of all of this
Prechorus
And i didn’t know
About ebb and flow
All i knew was that i wanted to go
Chorus
To the beach and to the trees
And feel the breeze try not to sneeze
From smelling all the flowers
Sunny days and golden hours
But now i feel the sand and smell the pines
I take your hand and lose track of time
Now everything is harder
Than it was when i was younger
Bridge
Now i know why people cry
And it seems like i get sadder as time passes by
But it doesn’t hurt to try
I can’t stop the pass of time but i can make it mine
Chorus
To the beach and to the trees
And feel the breeze try not to sneeze
From smelling all the flowers
Sunny days and golden hours
But now i feel the sand and watch the pines
I take your hand and lose track of time
Now everything is harder
But i won’t be afraid of getting older
