Life was easier then,
The girls were friends
and the games were pretend,
Didn’t want it to end
Know that I’ve changed since then,
Cause everything hurts and
I’ve got no more love to spend
When will it end?
Oh
It’s a long jump from there to now
Oh
Used to know, but I don’t remember how
And there’s so much I miss and
My sadness is shifting
Thinking that home is so many years out
I feel scared I’m admitting
It’s like time is slipping
Just thought by now I’d feel way more prepared
Oh
Oh
It’s a long jump
Don’t feel good in my body,
I’m my favorite enemy,
Wish I had more empathy
When I think about the younger me
Been counting down all the days
I never live in today
I wish that I never cared
I wish I never compared
Oh
It’s a long jump from there to now
Oh
Used to know, but I don’t remember how
And there’s so much I miss and
My sadness is shifting
Thinking that home is so many years out
I feel scared I’m admitting
It’s like time is slipping
Just thought by now I’d feel way more prepared
Oh
Oh
It’s a long jump
You’d think that by the time the time passed
I’d be done with all the hard parts
They gave me everything from dreamland
I wish I didn’t have to freehand
You’d think that after all the time now
I’d be grown up, and I’d be proud
I wouldn’t crumble at a conflict
I’d maybe somehow have the courage
And here I am, I live alone
I’m going backwards, long ago
Had make believe, I didn’t know
And there’s so much I miss and
My sadness is shifting
Thinking that home is so many years out
I feel scared I’m admitting
It’s like time is slipping
Just thought by now I’d feel way more prepared
Oh
Oh
It’s a long jump
And there’s so much I miss and
My sadness is shifting
Thinking that home is so many years out
I feel scared I’m admitting
It’s like time is slipping
Just thought by now I’d feel way more prepared
Oh
Oh
It’s a long jump
It’s a long jump
It’s a long jump
