I once had a girl, or should I say she once had me.

I don't want to grow up but I'm sick of not growing up -​ that way. I'll find a different way of not growing up. There's a better way of doing it than torturing your body.

As I play the game of life, I try to make it better each and every day. And when I struggle in the night, The magic of the music seems to light the way.
