Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Racing shoes on tiny feet Tried to outrun every year All those candles blown out quick Now they’re smoke rings in the mirror Skipped the playground Chased the prize Learned to fake that fearless face Now I’m staring at my hands Like who put all these lines in place [Chorus] I wish I did not grow up too fast Rushed every sunrise Watched ’em burn past There’s too much I wanna do Too much I never knew Feels like the future came and went so soon I’m still a kid alone inside this room [Verse 2] All my friends turned into plans Wedding rings and baby names I still lose my keys and thoughts Get lost driving home the same I keep laughing at the wrong time Crying when the party ends Scroll through strangers’ perfect lives Wondering where my story went [Chorus] I wish I did not grow up too fast Rushed every sunrise Watched ’em burn past There’s too much I wanna do Too much I never knew Feels like the future came and went so soon I’m still a kid alone inside this room [Bridge] [Violin swells under stripped-back guitar] If I could slow this second down (just breathe) Fold it like a photograph and hide it in my sleeve Maybe I’d forgive the boy Who thought that being grown meant leaving joy [Chorus] I wish I did not grow up too fast Rushed every sunrise Watched ’em burn past There’s too much I wanna do Too much I never knew Feels like the future came and went so soon I’m still a kid alone inside this room Too much I wanna do And time keeps walking through

Subtle violin lines weave in and out, then soar in the bridge. Energy rises from introspective to anthemic, with stacked harmonies lifting the hook., ballad, vocal, deep, violin
