If I

(album: Mic Check - 2017)

If I would've known how the world worked
I would've never grown up
If I would've known how time flies by
I would still be a child

I used to dream I'd spend my life being an astronaut
Exploring galaxies with the hope they'd learn me lot
No car no bike
But a shuttle on my parking spot
Hover above the clouds getting lost in my thoughts
Oh dreams oh dreams
Up with the stream I go
Getting close, get in those
Dreams oh dreams
Up with the team I go
Getting closer to get in all of those
And nothing will ever stop me from rocking this microphone
When I am on one
When it got me telling tales of what I've grown from
New stories, new places
As they follow me through my odyssey
And as far as I can see
The mood as good as it can be
Careless as a child and as wild as a fantasy
Swear I'd turn it all back like we all would if we could, right?

If I would've known how the world worked
I would've never grown up
If I would've known how time flies by
I would still be a child

Lately I've been gaining my first fans
At the same time losing some old friends
Yeah when shit hit the fan
Is you still a friend?
On the other hand
I still don't give a damn honestly
Nothing goes according to my plan so why bother
She comes and goes like the tidal waves
She lays waste to the grave of my youth so I misbehave
I miss the brave years, the brave me
The flame we put out the day we grew old
So make me forget what you told
Untell what we sold as the truth:
"The deeper we fall the higher we can climb back up"
But is it you at the top?
Is it you?

If I would've known how the world worked
I would've never grown up
If I would've known how time flies by
I would still be a child
