[Intro – Spoken / Soft Flow] I wish I could go back to when I was six (mmm…), Sittin’ in the living room again, laughin’ like a kid (haah… yeah…), Watchin’ Star Wars play on the family laptop, Laughin’ when my sister ran from Mom nonstop (ohhh…). I wish I could have that sunshine in the rain kinda feel (mmm… sunny… yeah…), Where the clouds ain’t bothered by the sun or how I feel. I wish that everyone who grew up playin’ till the lights flicked Could go back to that younger child— Go back to when they was six (mmm… back… yeah…). [Verse 1] Yeah, If I had a time machine, I wouldn’t visit the future (mmm…), Why look for improvement on somethin’ that never mattered? See, back when I was six, everyone else had to go, But the older I get, man, I feel I lost that soul (ohhh… soul…). Back when I was six, I couldn’t handle a lot, Had to take it all in, then dish it out on the spot (mmm… yeah…). Nothin’ ever stuck to me like the world does today, Didn’t have no social media remindin’ me what to say (mmm… remindin’… yeah…). [Chorus – Updated / New Version] Take me back, back when I was six (mmm, mmm…), Back when the world didn’t hurt like this (ohhh… yeah…). Back when a smile ain’t come with tricks (tricks… yeah…), Back when I was just a kid — yeah, back when I was six (mmm… back…). Take me back… to that feelin’ I miss (mmm… I miss…), When all I needed was a laugh and a wish (mmm… yeah… laugh… wish…). Now I’m grown, but my heart still trips— Wish I could go back… back when I was six (ohhh… back…). [Verse 2] See, back when I was six, I could pretend it all was right (mmm…), Didn’t stay up late, scared of sleepin’ through the night. Nah, simple times were simpler when I could hold my daddy’s hand (yeah…), They only slipped away when the flames began to fan (ohhh…). Now I’m older, and I get why he did what he did (mmm… yeah…), But I’d trade all this pain just to feel like that kid. If I had a time machine, I wouldn’t fix what I missed (mmm… no…), I’d just go back… just to feel like I exist (ohhh… exist…). [Bridge – Soft / Reflective] Sometimes I think I never left that room (mmm…), Still that six-year-old waitin’ for the sun to bloom (yeah… bloom…). Life got louder, dreams got dim (ohhh…), But part of me’s still there with him (mmm… still there…). (mmm, yeah… back when I was six…) [Outro – Soft / Reflective] Tsk, take me back again to when I was six (mmm…), When fun was fun and the meaning was bliss (ohhh… yeah… bliss…). Back to life… to the child inside (mmm… inside…), To that happy fix— Back when I was six (mmm… ooh… back…). [Beat fades out… soft piano echoes, faint hums continue]
