Claude Monet

[Hook:]
I feel it, it's slipping away
Cause' kids aren't kids forever
But it feels like yesterday
When everything was simple
It's slipping away
Just paint my canvas blurry
And they call that Claude Monet

Thinking 'bout previous days
When I was on shifts in the pizza place
And I was putting soap on my pizza face
All the girls with the butts in the jeans I'd chase
And I keep chasing more with everything I saw
I said I'd do the right thing instead of being wrong
Said I'd be a rich man instead of being poor
Things just aren't how they're meant to be at all
Tell me when did everything get so complex
We used to talk but now we comment
I used to picture what I wanted
And they'd say you can have it all but not yet
My mums emailing me am I too busy
For the woman who raised me friends that grew with me
Cats in the cradle
Raised a new kitty
Can we can get another ticket
Life goes too quickly man

Sometimes I get overwhelmed
But I breathe deep and I tell myself
Remember the kid you are
Remember the kid you are
Sometimes I get overwhelmed
When I'm stressed out and I'm not myself
Remember to kid you are
Remember the kid you are

[Hook]

I remember racking at the shops once a day
Pocket full of dreams thats just a phase
Another year passed I don't wanna cut the cake
My old man telling me I'll see tougher days
Just lights whizzing by try catch the number plate
Keys in the slot
Still trying to pump the breaks
We are just animals, we are just some apes
The city is a jungle so its all fun and games
And me I swing around like a wind chime
Look all of our looks'll fade in time
Despite magazines and what you think right now
Beauties only really on the inside
They tell me all it is is a big ride
Things get really dark before it hits light
One day I'll make kids of my own
And I'll tell em stay a kid when you're grown

Sometimes I get overwhelmed
But I breathe deep and I tell myself
Remember the kid you are
Remember the kid you are
Sometimes I get overwhelmed
When I'm stressed out and I'm not myself
Remember to kid you are
Remember the kid you are

[Hook x2]

And I don't worry 'bout a thing, I got no time to overthink [x4]
