Last night, my mom sent me a photograph of my sister and me
'Cause little did we know what life would throw us at our feet
I wish that I could turn back time to late July
Those summer nights in Timmins
Now it's all so different
The leaves, they fall, the people change
The only thing that stays the same is I miss it
All I wanted was to grow up
But growing up has got the better half of me
All I wanted was to find love
But finding love has got me crying myself to sleep
Wish that I could tell myself at seventeen
That we'd still be here at twenty-three
I've been thinking 'bout the kid I used to be
For leaving when I knew it wasn't healthy
For learning having one more glass doesn't make it go away
Sometimes you gotta feel sad to feel happy, no
And spending one more night with them
Doesn't mean they're gonna stay
All I wanted was to grow up
But growing up has got the better half of me
All I wanted was to find love
But finding love has got me crying myself to sleep
Wish that I could tell myself at seventeen
That we'd still be here at twenty-three
I've been thinking 'bout the kid I used to be
I wish that I could turn back time to late July
Those summer nights in Timmins
Now it's all so different
The leaves, they fall, the people change
The only thing that stays the same is I miss it
All I wanted was to grow up
But growing up has got the better half of me
All I wanted was to find love
But finding love has got me crying myself to sleep
Wish that I could tell myself at seventeen
That we'd still be here at twenty-three
I've been thinking 'bout the kid I used to be
