I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
(Oh) wish we could turn back time (oh), to the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
We're stressed out
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from?
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one
It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
Same clothes, homegrown, a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree-house homes we all would take the latter
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
(Oh) wish we could turn back time (oh), to the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money," yeah
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money," yeah
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
(Oh) wish we could turn back time (oh), to the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money," yeah
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang

Im 14 and my life is already stressful and crappy. Are they saying it just gets worse?! Anyway, awesome song! Twenty one pilots rule!
@jonjonwinny Sorry kid. Don't want to frighten you or anything. But it is the choices we make today that put us in the place we are tomorrow. It's as simple as that. Some have it easy because their elders are wealthier. But most of us catch a few breaks here and there. And I think at those times, we reflect back to our child hood days when things were easier to cope with. I am one who caught a big break shortly after high school with a job offering of what ALL of my classmates would, "I don't want to say the word," but you get the idea. I was blessed early on with a good paying job, although a job that would eventually wear me out over 20 years or so.It has, by the way…
@jonjonwinny Everybody has some stress throughout life but I prefer being older to being younger. I think life gets easier after you get out of school. Working is easier than school. I think too many people idolize their youth and forget how difficult it truly was. I'm in charge of me now and I don't need to ask my parents or my teachers for permission for anything. It does get better. Songs like this are coping mechanisms. I listened to C'est la Vie by Robbie Nevil in college to cope and now I'm the mother of a college student. School pressure is tough. In my opinion, it gets easier so hang in there!
@jonjonwinny I'm 13 and Yep my life is already stressful and crappy too. But like Johnnie Guilbert says "Stay happy not crappy, lifes a bitch, peace out thug pugs!!!"
@jonjonwinny yup life does suck and it gets worse I'm 15 not much older heart breaks are coming.
