[Verse 1] Wake up, brain's already loud Bills and pressure like a cloud Wish I could ride my bike again And not pretend I’m fine with pain Mom said, "Grow up, make it work" But I just drown in daily dirt I miss the days when I could breathe Now I just scroll and lose my sleep [Pre-Chorus] Used to draw stars with chalk Now I talk to walls that never talk Used to laugh, now I overthink Lost my joy in kitchen sinks [Chorus] I wish I had less grown-up, more dreams Less fake smiles and more ice cream Less bad news and more my sister Back when I would sit and miss her Hearts not heavy, minds not tight Just silly chats into the night I wish I had less grown-up, more real More time to say just how I feel [Verse 2] They say the pain will fade with time But it just echoes in my mind Clock ticks fast, I’m always late Still learning how to carry weight I saw my sister in a dream She smiled and said, “Just chase your dream” I woke up crying in my bed I miss the words she never said [Pre-Chorus] Used to build forts out of sheets Now I’m stuck in boring meets Used to scream just for fun Now I’m numb when day is done [Chorus – repeat] I wish I had less grown-up, more dreams Less fake smiles and more ice cream Less bad news and more my sister Back when I would sit and miss her Hearts not heavy, minds not tight Just silly chats into the night I wish I had less grown-up, more real More time to say just how I feel [Bridge] Let’s run back, press rewind Let go of weight in my mind If you see my sister, tell her this: She’s the piece of peace I miss [Outro] Too much grown-up, not enough play I need a friend who’ll say, "It’s okay" So I’ll ride my bike and maybe sing And hope my sister feels everything
